The Facts: OC Jay Gruden was pleasantly surprised by the strong rookie season from Dalton.Now that Dalton will be able to utilize his first true NFL offseason, Gruden is expecting the signal-caller to make a leap forward in his sophomore campaigns. "He better get better or he won't be good enough," Gruden told the team's official website. "You have to be great at that position and we think he can be great. That's why we drafted him where we did and he had a remarkable rookie season, no doubt about it. Knowing the kind of kid he is and how he works, I know he'll get better."

Diehards Line: If you were looking for confirmation that news is hard to come by at this point of the year, we'll suggest the fact that a coach expecting a player heading into his second year to improve over his rookie season making headlines is all the proof you need. The fact is, Dalton had a fantastic rookie season and a natural progression is all but certain. Indeed, the team might be more on the hook for Dalton's improvement than Dalton. The addition of another front-line reciever could be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to Dalton's improvement. But that isn't necessarily going to happen. Indeed, while many have pointed to a No. 1 RB and a WR to play opposite A.J. Green as top priorities, Gruden said he was not necessarily looking to shake up the offense. "I'm not ready to kick guys off the team if we don't have guys that can replace them," Gruden said. "I'd like to have all our guys back."
