Interesting tack you are steering here. 

Would you rank the Jags OL in the lowest 20% of the league in both run blocking and pass protection?

A good QB masks poor offensive line play. 



An elite QB elevates his OLine.


Feel free to disagree.

Not that PFF is the end all be all of team analysis...  But check this out:  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/best-...-rankings/

The Jaguars and the Dolphins are in the bottom 3rd of the NFL in terms of O-Lines...  

Conversely, Atlanta is top 10 in O-Lines...

Oh the clots?  Also top 10, graded as 4th best.  And we [BLEEP] toasted them both times we played them...

Yet look at how well the clots are playing now.  And the Dolphins are a cinch for the playoffs.  Meanwhile, while we may not have a great O-Line, our O-Line is similarly as bad as the Dolphins, and yet the Dolphin's offense is still very dynamic...  Even with Tyree Hill out, they put the beat down on a Jet's D that is one of the great D's of the league...

Oh, and the Vikings also have a top 10 O-Line, and yet we have a better record they that team.

An O-Line, while important, can still be successful if the offensive scheme and play calling can keep defenses guessing.  When an offense is easy to read, it completely exposes the Line.
