To the best of my knowledge, no coach has ever drafted a QB #1 overall and not had at least 2 years to prove something with him. Hell, I don't even know if that has happened with a QB in the first round, much less 1OA...
Not the case at all. Not even close.
Hue Jackson didn't last 2 years with Mayfield.
Jeff Fisher didn't last even 1 year with Goff.
Lovie Smith only lasted 1 year with Jaemis Winston.
That's literally 3 of the last 4 who didn't with just 1st overall, not even touching your absurd 1st round claim.
The key thread with those 3 QBs/HCs (and Burrow/Taylor)? All 3 of them were HCs that were there the year before. When you have a 1st overall pick, the HC should be gone. Clean slate with a new QB. Failing to do so ends up with your 1st overall QB having a new HC 1-2 years later more often than not.
