1. Checking the ball down, and taking sacks.
2. Spreading the field and distributing the ball to the WR core (not always pretty). Avoiding pressure and sacks.
3. Fitzpatrick is not as predictable, and somewhat keeps the defense from guessing. He is not afraid to throw the ball and make a play, which he has so far. As pathetic as our offense is, we have a much better chance of moving the ball and scoring with Fitzpatrick at the helm.
