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.
And I do not disagree with you or Fred for that matter...My point was not about Hill being the focal point of the offense...My point was as follows....
Discussion was talking about runs of 20+ yards
I said do not run Hill in shotgun
Fred says Hill was great in shotgun...showing his stats from all of his carries ( I did not mention all of his carries, the discussion was about runs of 20+ yards)
I posted that most of his long runs (20+ yards) were from Dalton under center and also his TD runs were
You and Fred both respond with stuff not even to do with what the discussion is about and tell me that I am wrong
You are correct...you do not change the game plan to revolve around Hill....BUT...you can change it enough to allow Hill to play to his strengths when in the game..
