I think House helped, nothing wrong with that.. but really if you look at Dalton's body of work , he has improved each year outside of 2014 (maybe the injuries really hurt us in 2014) with Zampeze as a QB coach.

I like how strong Dalton and Whitworth, two players I respect alot on this team,, came out very strong in support of Zampeze and keeping the system we have in place.   

Those statements by Dalton and Whitworth hit home alot more than  irrational , overreaction amateur post i see on this thread.

When it comes down to it, good coaches provide the framework for a player to improve collaboratively.   Tom House as much as Ken Zampese, the real reason Andy Dalton makes strides forward is Andy Dalton.  

Tom House has a baseball background.  The only things he can help a quarterback with are specific fine motor throwing techniques.  Those techniques have helped Dalton, but it's more on Andy taking it upon himself to put in the work he does away from the practice field that makes the difference.  

Zampese has football in his blood, his family.  I have no reservations in his capability of running the offense.  Play calling will be the big question, but isn't it always?
