Actually the Panthers have had a top 10 overall OL 2 out of 4 years he was on the team, Dalton had a top 10 OL 3 out of 4 years. You also have to gauge how much their release time helps their OL. Dalton releases the ball almost twice as fast as Newton, making it harder for his OL to protect him. (Dalton 1.53 release time, and Cam 2.82 release time according to PFF)
... Yeah, it's not been good. It doesn't really matter to the QB if his Oline's run blocking is good when he drops back, his pass pro has given up over 150 sacks in his career.
The release times can be attributed to some degree to the type of offenses they play, but this is a Dalton plus for sure.
