This year Hue drew up plays that were safe for Andy to execute. Well Hue isn't going to be here next season. What if the next OC can't protect Andy the way Hue did? What if Sanu and Marvin Jones aren't here next year? How will Andy do then?
Dalton has a quick release. That's not going to suddenly disappear once Jackson leaves. And it's made our offensive line look much better than perhaps it is.
He's five years into the NFL. He has experience reading defenses and making audibles at the line. Again, not going to suddenly disappear with Jackson.
He continues to work with House in developing his mechanics. I doubt he calls it quits now.
Hell, all things considered, I'd say Dalton made Hugh Jackson look better.
The only detriment Dalton can potentially run into is if an OC comes in and tries to put him into an offensive scheme that plays against his strengths. Otherwise, as far as intangibles, I wouldn't expect a drop off.
Wide receivers are a commodity now. Even if both Jones and Sanu leave (I doubt we lose both), you can pick up quality receivers in the draft. And he'll still have Green, Eifert, and Hewitt.
Everything in this post is my fault.
