A good o-line allows for a good running game, providing balance to the offense, keeping the defense on their toes, thereby making the quaterbacks job easier.
An offensive line has just as much to do with a quarterback's completion percentage as the quarterback does, if it didn't, linemen wouldn't be top round draft prospects and Jay Cutler would be just another quarterback.
