I was talking to a friend of mine and we got into the discussion of the importance of O-Lines. I'm of the opinion that an amazing top-5 O-Line props up nearly any QB enough to be a great QB. He's of the opinion an amazing top-5 QB helps inflate O-Line stats.

Who is right - or is it a little of both?

Doesn't match your question since the line wasn't good, but the first two years Kyler Murray made our O-line look so much worse by running out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage. He added double digit sacks to purely because he didn't learn that he should throw the ball away before running out of bounds if he's behind the line of scrimmage.

2006 Bears had a probowler G, All Pro C Olin Krutez, and 3 other lineman who were all close to starters for a decade a piece and Rex Grossman still threw 24 TDs to 20 ints with a sub 60% comp percentage. Some times they're just bad.

Joe Thomas on the Browns instantly popped into my head

I might be stupid, but from the top of my head is the years the Bears went to the Super Bowl against Peyton manning. Rex Grossman was shit but led his team to a Super Bowl. So it must be the Oline and I know the defense was a amazing that year.

The Titans with KingHenry in past season. Not the last two seasons also Vikings back in day with Adrian Peterson.
