Put it this way; I have much more faith in Hill than I do Dalton.
And I agree, but this past year they forced into Dalton's mind "Don't make the mistake"; which appeared to override his "make a play" mentality that we needed in certain games.
He was a gun-slinger in 2013. I prefer that to the game manager they tried to make him be last season. Sure, he threw for a little more than 100 attempts that year, but he had the least amount of passing attempts (481) in his entire career. His 2nd lowest? 516 his rookie season.
While there should be more emphasis on the running game this next year, I don't believe that forcing that mindset into Dalton helps him as much as it should.
