Has there ever been a team with a season of amazing O-Line performance but terrible QB performance? (alien.top)

I was talking to a friend of mine and we got into the discussion of the importance of O-Lines. I'm of the opinion that an amazing top-5 O-Line props up nearly any QB enough to be a great QB. He's of the opinion an amazing top-5 QB helps inflate O-Line stats.

Who is right - or is it a little of both?

I agree that an amazing QB does wonders for OL stats, but the other side of the coin is that I think bad QBs can make OLs look way worse than they are. Bad QBs get themselves sacked by holding the ball too long, running into pressure, generally having bad pocket awareness (think Zach Wilson) and they also allow defenses to always have a numbers advantage in the front 7 so it makes their rushing success worse as well
