Hackett has been good as an OC in the past, whether it's with Rodgers or Blake Bortles, so that's an interesting call. They are also desperate for a QB, and they specifically say they want a veteran. Everyone said the Broncos hired him in the first place to lure Aaron Rodgers over there, but I don't know if that was actually the case for either team
BoB will be great for Mac Jones, and after a disastrous year the Pats will be scary again

SkinnyPupp, I don't know if Nathaniel Hackett can "hack it" as an OC. Remember his decision as head coach in the Broncos game vs. the Seahawks in week 1?
Hackett opted to have his kicker kick a 64 yd field goal rather than putting the ball in Wilson's hands.
That was a field goal attempt instead of going for it on 4th down and 5.
No trust in your franchise QB?
Hackett did not let Russ cook.
Did Hackett give Russ opportunities to run the offence? Did he even trust his former QB?
What about game clock mismanagement from Hackett? His clock and game management is not very good.
His play calling is very questionable.

Clock Mismanagement
It seemed like there was not a sense of urgency in the last drive of the game. After the final offensive play, the Broncos let the clock run all the way down to 20 seconds before calling a timeout. This was confusing to broadcasters and fans alike. Peyton Manning believed they were baiting Seattle to jump offsides then gave a timeout signal when he saw how much time was wasted off the clock. See the post below to watch Manning’s reaction in the moment via adamschefter on Instagram.
Clock management and the usage of timeouts were terrible in that situation. Furthermore, with only two timeouts left before attempting the FG, Hackett put Denver in a position where they would not get the ball back if McManus misses the kick. Kicking a 60 plus YD field goal is not an easy task for any kicker, unless you’re Justin Tucker. To be fair, this is Hackett’s very first game so it’s only natural to make mistakes. However, you would like to see your head coach have more faith in your star Quarterback rather than the kicker.
