One could also say that Drew has benefitted greatly from a superior O-line his entire career here

It's a little bit of both, right? There needs to be an understanding between QB and line as to what happens depending on how the play develops. So a great LT isn't great just because he blocks, but because he understands which way to block, and he knows this because he knows what his QB is doing behind his back; and the QB knows which way the blocking will go.

That said, you can definitely make that argument back when Drew had (IMO) the best interior line on football with Jahri-Goodwin-Nicks in front of him. Stinchcomb wasn't half bad either. Probably the best o-line in Saints history, no offense meant to Dombrowsky-Hilgenberg-Edelman-Brock.
