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?

Imo it’s less flexible on the O-line side. A great QB doesn’t really inflate O-line numbers because they’re still going to have QB pressures, etc, regardless of whether the QB is good enough to bail them out and make plays when pressured.

They’re more tied when you have a QB like Carson Wentz, who will hold onto the ball as long as it takes to either make a play or get sacked.
