It's no secret that today's NFL is a quarterback-driven league. It is generally the teams with the top signal-callers who are able to sustain success, and those without them often find it difficult to remain consistently competitive.
Of course, even the best quarterbacks sometimes need a little help to perform at a high level. While a team can rarely succeed without an effective quarterback, a quarterback can't always be at his best without adequate protection.
It's that protection we are going to focus on today. While this is a list of current quarterbacks, we aren't going to concern ourselves too much with how the passers themselves fared during the 2015 season.

For these guys, it's all about the protection.
