Feel free to educate yourself ^ It's not just 1 factor that protects a QB. There are MANY. Just looking at the O line is too basic. Look at the list of top O lines vs the teams in the middle.

Fun fact, if the season started right now, the Bengals starting 5 O line would have given up 6 sacks in 2020 (and that is NOT including Carman as a starter). WTF is there to be bitching about?

So having a top 10 OL is a good indicator of success is what that list shows

1) Browns - Playoffs
2) Packers - Playoffs
3) Rams - Playoffs
4) Patriots - Cam Newton factor
5) Tamp Bay - Playoffs Super Bowl Champion
6) Washington - Playoffs
7) Indy - Playoffs
8) Saints - Playoffs
9) 49ers - No QB
10) Bills - Playoffs
11) Chiefs - Super Bowl loser.

If anything that list shows you that an OL is more important then anything outside of a QB as the two teams with top lines that didn't go to the playoffs had a shit show at QB.

Also, people keep talking about sacks allowed. It isn't just the magical "sack" number that counts. How many times was Burrow hit as he threw and incomplete pass? Not a sack, but a still a pressure and a hit allowed. Just because Burrow threw it away as he got smoked to avoid a sack doesn't mean the line is good.
