'15 shotgun....... 62 car ... 238 yds ... 3.8 avg
'15 other.......... 161 car ... 556 yds ... 3.5 avg

'14 shotgun....... 54 car ... 355 yds ... 6.6 avg
'14 other..........168 car ... 769 yds ... 4.6 avg

So if he had "9 out of 10 of his long runs" out of the shotgun in 2014 and got 4.6 YPC, does that mean outside of those few occasional long runs he was total trash?

That doesn't sound like a very convincing argument to change anything away from the MVP-type season Andy Dalton was having while Hill was only gaining 1.46 yards after contact.

Remember that time they completely changed the offense for Andrew Luck in 2014 because they didn't like him having a 96.5 QB Rating and wanted to get Trent Richardson going instead? Yeah, me either. QBs are the most valuable thing in this league, sadly. I don't buy for one second that the shotgun is the reason why Hill sucked in 2015 (before I even saw Fred's stats). But lets just say it is for conversation's sake.. if Hill can't learn to run out of any formation he's needed to in order to make the QB/offense/team good, then it's time to find a replacement who can. RBs are very replaceable.

No matter how you cut it, you're wrong, Spazz.
