Only 3 of the 36 starts in Fitzpatrick's stats came before '08, and the league passer rating only increased by 2.6 points from '08 to '13 (from 81.5 to 84.1).
So the rule changes didn't make near enough difference to account for Dalton having a passer rating over 12 points higher than Fitzpatrick's.
