Where did you get that stat?
According to ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/splits/_/id/16803/year/2014/jeremy-hill) Hill averaged only 4.6 yards per carry when Dalton was under center (168 for 769 yards) last year.
But last year does not matter. Defense change from year to year, and this year they have proven they can stop Hill. Of course we still need to keep running from all formations, but we can't just keep giving Hill tha ball with dalton under center when he is averaging less than 3.3 yards per carry
