If you don't think QB play was a major problem last year, it's hard to take anything else you say seriously
But

A middle of the pack SEC line last year and we beat both Miss schools and Probably Arkansas. A top 3 SEC oline and we would have been playing UGA in Atlanta.
I’m not a sunshine pumper. Our oline was abysmal at times.
In SEC play, we were #3 in sacks allowed and #3 in yards per rush. That seems as good or better than "middle of the pack"

OL was solid the second half of the year, but they were horrible early. Go back and watch Colorado, Arkansas, and Mississippi State (actually don't, it was bad).
Foster struggled early as one would expect. Aki was not great and lost too much weight, Kenyon was not a tackle, L. Robindon was banged up, Jahmir Johnson was Jahmir Johnson, and I don't think Duece started early.
Henson turned it around, he was solid. Though I will never understand what happened at LT last year.

The problem was the oline on offense. We had no running game at times. D had 2 or 3 in our backfield on passing downs way too fast and way too often. Calzada was a problem.,, not even close to THE problem.
Calzada running for his life was the bigger problem and it isn’t close. He was able to run and get rid of it. If he stayed in pocket we give up 30 sacks and he ends his year without his head attached.
He didn’t acquire a reputation for being a tough guy because our oline was so good he hardly got touched and was sacked so little. Quite the opposite.
I think you are confusing the absolute athleticism displayed by our running backs to make something out of nothing and break long runs. They did this despite… not because of… good blocking.
