An OL could play great but allow a sack or two and people think they are horrible.

That's why I give the benefit of the doubt to grading sites like PFF.
They are taking the time watching every single snap (even if they do occasionally get assignments wrong).
I haven't watched back all the tape, but I would bet that's why we see Jonah Williams with a PFF pass block grade of 66.0 but Cordell Volson with a PB grade of 23.5 despite having about the same number of sacks and pressures allowed (Jonah - 2 sacks, 12 pressures; Volson - 3 sacks, 15 pressures).
Jonah has always had a lot of good reps that go largely unnoticed.

I am interested to see how the OL continues to hold up with longer developing/longer drop back plays and if we go under center. 

Burrow has gotten the ball out EXTREMELY quickly so far this year. It def makes the OL job easier. The true test will be how they hold up as we throw the ball down the field more as Burrow continues to get healthier.
