Kylar Murray had a solid--very Andy Dalton like--season last year as a rookie. Baker Mayfield set the record for TDs by a rookie and finished that year with a 97+ rating. Russell Wilson has been consistently great. RGIII, pre injury, was a very good dual threat and finished his rookie year with a 102+ rating and Cam Newton has been solid, if just average, stats-wise. 

There were several that did absolutely nothing; Colt Brennan, Logan Woodside and Kellen Moore and one, Jameis Winston, that has put up stats but is a turnover machine. 

The best ever--consensus top picks that you noted--took time and Burrow will take time too. Every Bengals fan should be aware of and accept this. Anything more is just icing on the cake. 

Are you comparing Murray to Daltons rookie year ?  because i would put Dalton in as a successful rookie year as a QB  .
