For instance, his 85 yard run (the longest of his career) came out of the shotgun in 2014. You keep repeating that most came with Dalton under center, but you've not actually come out with any numbers to support it is I guess the problem here, when all the stats say Hill is actually better in shotgun.
Maybe it seemed to you that he had more long runs of 20+ when Dalton was under center because he was run more that way, not because he is actually better there. 2 runs of 20+ on 50 carries is the exact same ratio as 6 runs of 20+ on 150 carries. You might look and see "6 vs 2!" but it really is "1 per 25 vs 1 per 25".
Like I said in my original post (talking about 20+ yard run plays)...Here is his career runs of 20+ yards...I think it is quite obvious that he is more likely to have a big gain when not in shotgun and the QB under center....
Runs over 20 yards..2014
Jaguars
60 yds…not in Shotgun
Saints
21 yds…not in shotgun
62 yds…not in shotgun
Browns
21 yds…not in shotgun
Denver
85 yds..shotgun
Steelers
22 yds…not in shotgun
2015..Ravens…only run over 20 yds
38 yds…not in shotgun
And if you go scroll through the play by play you will pick up obvious tendencies of when we are in shotgun and when Hill is in versus Bernard...Again, I am not saying that Hill is not effective in shotgun just his big plays come when not...
