Burrow comes in second to this guy....

Way too early to give Herbert best QB out of this draft.. now was he the best rookie QB and did he exceed expectations yes...  That does not take away from Burrow, he had overall a good rookie year but Herbert had a better rookie year.  If Herbert exceeds Burrow again next year then you could start to have that discussion but Herbert or Burrow could also end of being Mayfield in their 2nd year.. so too early to tell.

Here is where I think Herbert performed better than what most thought coming into rookie year
1. Accuracy- 67% on his throws.. actually higher than Burrow, don;t think anyone predicted that
2. TD to Int Ratio- many thought he throw alot of Ints with his risk and reward but i think with his accuracy that did not happen 3 TD to 1 Int Ratio.. also exceeded Burrow
3. Mobility: he was thought not be so mobile but he did well getting out of pocket and throwing and scored 5 tds on the round.
