Burrow was among the least amount of time to throw from the pocket at 2.2 seconds and Allen had 2.5 seconds, which may not seem like a lot, but the NFL is bang-bang and 2.2 seconds to throw is ranked something like 50th. 

If our line protects Burrow even at an average rate, he'll be the top quarterback in the league........ EASY.

The Bills did not have a good OL last year.

Per Pro Football Network article for ranked OLs going into this year, here's what they had to say about Bills' OL last season:

Quote:Dawkins was the only above-average member of Buffalo’s offensive line last season. The Bills added reinforcements along the interior — where they were greatly needed — by signing McGovern and drafting Torrence, both of whom could signal that Buffalo wanted to get better at run blocking moving forward. Brown needs to become more consistent at right tackle or risk being replaced in 2024.

At the end of the 2022 season, PFF ranked BUF as the 23rd OL. They ranked CIN 28th.
So better, yes, but not by a whole bunch.
