From the video

the fact that Hackett is clearly tempted to play James Connor over uh over Jeremiah Love confirms for me that like he shouldn't be their OC.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Connor's role capped by Love's draft capital despite pay cut.

The source views offensive coordinator Hackett's apparent temptation to play James Connor over Jeremiah Love as a red flag for his judgment. However, Connor took a $5 million pay cut to remain with the Cardinals after Love's third-overall selection, suggesting the team's commitment to Love's usage will limit Connor's role despite early-season potential touches.
