For a quick example, if you were to put Jake Long at LT for a team like the Packers or the Bears, I'd bet their sack numbers would drop exponentially while the QBs numbers would probably go up. However, in Miami, it didn't matter what Long did, the QB was still terrible.

LT as a position is overrated. An offensive like is like a chain when it comes to pass rush, only as strong as its weakest link. You can have a great LT, but if your Right guard sucks your QB is still going to get sacked and hit a lot.
