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.

Not exactly. Taylor suffered a concussion that knocked him out of the game in Week 3. Mayfield came in and showed he could play well. Mayfield was the future for the franchise so it didn't make sense to bench him while he was playing well. Just because Mayfield won the job after injury doesn't mean Taylor is terrible, it just means Mayfield is better.
