Yes. Eifert was a big part of the offense. But so what stopped them from using Gresham like Eifert exactly?
Yes. Gio missed games. But remember, who took his place when he went down? Hill. And didn't Hill have over 350 yards in those 3 games and become the starter because of that?
Hue was here for a year before he was OC. And he's been a part of Marvin's system before. And he has been an OC and HC since leaving here as well. Hue has a resume.
Green played the full 1st game against the Steelers where he had 221 yards. The next and final game is where he got hurt. And he was only out for 6 plays at the end of the game.

It's not fantasy stats. Stats are stats. He had 21 TDs to 18 turnovers. That's just bad for a QB.
Mark Sanchez had a better QB rating that year. As did both Shaun Hill and Austin Davis.
And so did Bridgewater and Kyle Orton.

I get what you're saying. They won games. Awesome. But that doesn't mean you can't critique someone's play that year. Dalton had a bad campaign in 2014.

I mean, Mark Sanchez had a VERY identical year in 2010 as Dalton's 2014. But we all criticize Sanchez's game, even back then, right?

2015 Dalton played great. There's no denying that. But there's also no denying that he had a poor outing in 2014. I mean, it's not like we didn't have a running game with Hill.

Yeah, it was a bad stats year, no doubt.  The point I was making about fantasy is that people become too enamored with stats and fail to see the big picture these days. Isn't winning games what it's all about?  Winning ONE game got a guy with 220 INTs vs 173 TDs into the HOF.

What stopped them from using Gresh like Eifert?  Gresh.  How many drops? How many drive killing penalties? (Miami ring a bell?  Cost us a TD that game, which would've won the game).  Gresham is just not as good as Eifert.  They did use him.  He dropped balls, fumbled, and penalized his way out of town.  Plus, he was playing injured, we now know.

I know Hue had a resume, but there is usually an adjustment period to a new OC, you know this.  Plus, this was the first year they gave him "free reign" at the line of scrimmage, if memory serves.

Yes, Hill performed well, but there are always adjustments you have to make when you switch personnel, especially to a rookie.  This team did well at overcoming quite a bit of obstacles that season, and your QB is your leader.  As I said, I saw a lot of grit out of him that season.  Remember the awful game at Tampa?  Where they were pumping him full of IVs?
