The thing I like with Fitzpatrick over Taylor is he pushes the ball down the field and takes chances. Taylor is more of a game manager, dump the ball down kind of guy.

I've heard this before, that Fitzpatrick pushes the ball down the field more than Taylor, but I don't know how accurate that statement is. I don't have subscriptions or access to any advanced stats sites, but what's available doesn't support it. Everything I see shows that Taylor actually pushes the ball down the field more than Fitzpatrick. They are pretty close in that regard, but Taylor gets the slight edge.

Fitzmagic is a true gunslinger, but he takes TOO many chances. Which is why he throws almost 8 interceptions for every 10 touchdowns.

The defense is good and could be better next year, but that's just not complementary football, and it's not sustainable over the course of a season. There's a reason he's played for 25% of the teams in the league.
