Consider this:  

Andy Dalton season averages since 2011.  (64 games total)
Yards.         TD.           INT.          Passer Rating.  
3689.5     24.75.     16.5.         85.2

Ryan FitzPatrick season averages since 2011 (55 games total)
Yards.         TD.           INT.         Passer Rating
3042.25         19.75.       14.75.     84.925

Slap another nine games into 2013/14 for Fitzpatrick and those averages would be even closer.

Yeah. Lets compare a guys 7th NFL season to Dalton's rookie year when he didn't even have any offseason to learn the offense.  That makes a lot of sense.  

Plus Fitzpatrick's passer rating since '11 is only 83.8 and he has 29 fumbles in 55 games compared to Dalton's 19 in 64 games.
