It's absurd that so many ppl in Cincinnati listen to the analytics community. It seems like a lot of the groupthink is sourced there.

Actually, Wilcots and Smith did analyze the philosophy of building the line to support a franchise QB, compared to stockpiling superior weapons around him.  They had statistical data to support their points for both approaches.  The ultimate conclusion is that when you have a franchise QB, you protect him with a line that can also provide a rushing attack.  The franchise QB will elevate the skill players around him, as it is in the nature of a franchise QB to do so, with whomever he plays with.
