Geez, that's a worse list than I thought.  Burrow has gotta break the curse.

It's trended much better in recent years.  Murray was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.  Baker was ranked #50 in the Top 100 and made the All Rookie team.  Lamar Jackson was named league MVP this past year.  Mariota got dumped by the Titans this off-season, but did win a playoff game.  Winston is out in TB, but did go to a Pro Bowl.  Manziel was a complete bust.  People forget that RGIII had an amazing rookie year, winning ORotY honors, going to the Pro Bowl, and being named #15 in the Top 100 before injuries derailed him.  Cam obviously went to the SB and won a ton of awards, including a league MVP and a 1st team All Pro.
