They also had a really good defense, decent O line, great D coordinator and really good position coaches, and had an immediate impact WR come along with him. QBs that are drafted late in the first (Lamar Jackson or Aaron Rogers, Mahomes, Watson) or in later rounds (Wilson and Dalton himself) walk into better situations. It's not foolproof though... Brock Osweiler sucked.
Defense was middle of the pack that year on dvoa. Dalton basically walked into a complete rebuild with not much good at all and did a good job.
That said, Burrow is a once in a generation QB and Dalton has shown an inability to lift up a team, only that a good team can help Dalton lift his game
