Given you came up with 4 years that we were bottom 10 in sacks since CP9 jogged onto the field in 2004

You only get to pick one. I pick our QBs have had good protection. 

Run blocking is not considered in the OP

Dalton is currently the 5th most sacked QB in the league:

And here's how they stack up in pass attempts per sack:

1. Colts- 7.8
2. Texans- 8.3
3. Bengals- 9.91 
4. Broncos- 10.04 
5. Jets- 10.20
6. Bills- 10.32
7. Packers- 10.50
8. Lions- 10.80 
9. 49ers- 11.67 
10. Bears- 11.68 
11. Cardinals- 11.71 
12. Chiefs- 11.82 
13. Eagles- 12.00
14. Panthers- 12.27
15. Browns- 13.35 
16. Patriots- 14.71
17. Redskins- 14.81
18. Ravens- 15.00 
19. Giants- 15.29 
20. Dolphins- 15.50
21. Seahawks- 16.19
22. Titans- 16.77
23. Jags- 18.09
24. Falcons- 19.33
25. Buccaneers- 21.46 
26. Raiders- 21.77 
27. Rams- 22.40 
28. Cowboys- 25.33
29. Chargers- 26.00
30. Steelers- 27.60
31. Vikings- 27.70
32. Saints- 35.43 

In other words, our eyes aren't lying to us. Bfine might be, though. I mean you're not trying to argue that this year isn't so bad, right?

Also, I listed 5 years (not 4) from 2006-present (12 seasons) and anyone who remembers 2009 will tell you that our pass blocking sucked...that's why we ran an extra tackle and unbalanced lines.

So again...6 years out of the last 12, our pass blocking has sucked. 

And I don't care what you think the OP was referring to, run blocking is relevant when discussing o-line play. We've had spotty pass blocking and terrible run blocking for 12 years now.
