And who were the other QB’s available to those teams at the time? Doubt many of them had good options.
If you have a very serviceable and experienced QB for your future franchise QB to learn from you utilize him. Especially when your team won 0 games the previous season. The Browns are not going anywhere this year, there’s no reason to rush Mayfield and throw him to the wolves.
I get what you're saying and mostly agree. But you gotta factor in that Hue is sitting on a four burner gas grill on high with the lid closed !
They come out of the gate 1-3, 0-4 under Taylor everybody and his brother is gonna be screaming for Mayfield. Perhaps even 0-2 depending on how they look ?
And on the other hand he starts Mayfield and they're 0-2 everybody is gonna be screaming for Taylor, Hue is in a quite bad position ! And given Mayfield's "past" it even adds more pressure.
Or in other words Mayfield better be hitting home runs and fast ! After going 1-31 under Hue there's no wiggle room, add in 3-13 the previous season and that's 4-44 over the last 3 years !
There's gonna be a zero tolerance policy in Cleveland I'm sure
