Can a QB help an Oline?

I will offer this: A good OC can scheme around a less than ideal offensive line. Look at Atlanta. They have weapons galore and if you crowd the LOS, they can beat you with a slant for 80 yards. I loved watching the way they spread the field and attacked teams.

The Bengals seem to have the opposite philosophy. Bring in extra blockers, have fewer receivers in a pattern, bring the defense closer to the LOS, and pray that your line holds for at least a second. This really minimizes the offensive game plan. Nothing can get downfield and when teams don't have to defend it, you make it easier for them.

Green Bay is another example of a team that doesn't have the greatest offensive line, but will spread you out and attack you. Anyone that feels they can't do that with Dalton hasn't been watching.
