Has there ever been a team with a season of amazing O-Line performance but terrible QB performance? (alien.top)

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?

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.

2018 Redskins with Trent Williams and Brandon Sheriff on the OL, and Alex Smith, Josh Johnson, Colt McCoy, and Mark Sanchez at QB

The Bears all this season.

You’re both a bit right, but he’s more right than you.

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.

Patriots. they always had a great O-Line but for about two decades some scrub 6th rounder QB was behind them

2012 Vikings. Peterson MVP season where he fell nine yards short of the single season record. O-line was a big reason for that.

Ponder threw for less than 3k yards and had 18 TDs to 12 INTs. That’s terrible considering teams were stacking the box on AD.

Bad qbs make good lines look bad all the time lol. It’s like how the tampa line all of a sudden stopped sucking when Brady was on that team not Jameis wINTson
