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 believe for the chiefs Alex Smith had outstanding lines, and one year did not throw a td to a wr. He definitely got better. Frankly every chiefs team from the early 90s until the last year of Smith and obviously Mahomes had very solid olines with I believe two hall of famers on those lines over the years (Shields, Roaf), and many many really good ones
