I don't see how even an exceptional quarterback can be effective if the offensive line and other backs don't block consistently well, or if the receivers don't consistently run the right routes, escape their coverage, actually catch the ball, and run well with it after the catch, or if the running backs don't find the holes the line must create, make good cuts, deflect tackles, and never fumble, or if the place kicker and/or punter don't consistently deliver when one of those things goes wrong, or if despite doing all that stuff right the defense never makes a stop.

I agree. Offense can't do anything without a solid line. QB would be sacked every play and RBs would be tackled for loses all day long.

Talk to any football coach and they'll tell you how critical the line is to the entire offense. Our old QB used to cook a special dinner for all her o-line every season as a thank-you.
