If the 457BC date results in the middle of the 70th Week being at the time of the crucifixion (was that the 30AD or 33AD date?) then the issue would be whether the elements of Daniel 9 were fulfilled and when? I tend to side with Martin Luther in "The Jews and Theirs Lies" that it's unassailable that Daniel 9 was fulfilled by the time Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD. We might disagree about whether the 70the week wrapped up then or whether the effect of the week finished at that point, but the elements of Daniel 9 were certainly accomplished:

Daniel 9:24

24 “Seventy weeks[a] are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
