The Hobbit wasn't Jackson's fault. The studio was going to make the movies in that time frame with or without Peter Jackson, so he chose to helm the crashing ship.
It's true, that wasn't an entirely fair comparison, but I was thinking about disastrous adaptations, and that one sprang to mind.
And without him they were threatening to have the production leave NZ, which would've put a bunch of his friends out of the job.
I didn't know that detail. What a mensch.
