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.

Actually, most of those guys started over established QBs and the others were brought in to replace them.  I don't view it as "throwing him to the wolves", as much as letting him get out there and grow with his team.  

Dalton started as a rookie on a team that was supposed to go winless, and made the playoffs.
