I had to do some extrapolating for 2013 (5 games) and 2014 (4games) when Fitzpatrick got hurt, but the 64 game averages for Andy and Fitzy are pretty similar. Using the raw numbers (55games) for Fitzy they're also similar, albeit a bit fuzzy because of the missed games due to injury.
Tell me what you think?
Here is a comparison of both QBs in their first 4 years as a starter;
(stats from games started only. Average per 16 starts)
Fitzpatrick ('05, '08-'10).....288-495...58.2%...2965 yds...17.7 tds...17.3 ints...73.0 rating...11 fum
Dalton ('11-'14).................325-528...61.6%...3690 yds...24.8 tds...16.5 ints...85.2 rating... 5 fum
