I believe we have a lousy quarterback way sooner than suggest our offensive line isn't just as improved as our defensive line.

To start, our run to pass ratio is disproportionately more than any team in the NFL by a wide margin.  When we have passed this year, we have run a ton of playaction and short underneath stuff with max protection.  Our sack numbers are very artificially deflated.

Our run blocking was bad.  Our top rushers rushed for less than 4 yards per carry and that's with Fournette popping off 90 yard runs.  All the blame doesn't go squarely on the line here as we ran into loaded boxes a ton, but it was clear as day that they got little push.  The big runs were usually setup by big blocks from Cann, but he was far too inconsistent.  Do you think that if we had Manuwai and Naoele in there that we wouldn't be rushing for over 4 yards per carry?  Possibly over 5 with those guys.
