Tyrod had a good team around him last year and produced a 64.5 rating and got benched after 3 games. As a free agent (twice) no one was interested in him as a starter.
The Browns signed him to play the whole "start a vet for a few games before playing the rookie" charade. The Chargers signed him as a clear backup. If Andy Dalton hit the FA market last year or this year, you know full well he'd be signed as a starter somewhere.
All that said, yes...Tyrod was definitely better than Josh Allen's rookie performance. Tyrod is a bad starter/great backup type. Similar to Bortles. I can't blame the Bills for trying to upgrade on that, though. It just looks (so far) like Josh Allen was a bit too green.
Tyrod did well in Buffalo during a time period Dalton didn't play as well in Cincy. That is all I was showing with that compariosn. He said it was laughable to compare them and it really wasn't for that period. They are both mid level QB's Dalton maybe slightly above average Taylor probably slightly below....Allen not good currently. The real point was he was over selling how bad he was and I was trying to put it in context because he kept making excuses without any real facts.
