But there are many examples the other way. Burrow, Herbert and Stroud played right away and played well. 3 QB from the 2012 draft did as well, we can go all the way back to Big Ben and even Marino to find other examples.
With the way the league is now teams don't get a full 5 years before they have to sign their franchise QB to a monster deal. Teams do not want to waste 2 of those seasons they will have under a rookie contract anymore, they want their rookie QB on the field as soon as possible.
