I

Yes that is true. But just as important as "a team needs to bring a talented quarterback into a situation where they are given the opportunity to learn a system and surrounded with blue chip talent." Just a important or more so, is having a strong coaching staff and a system that works well with the type of talent your QB and the rest of your roster has.
For example when Joe Gibbs was hired in 1982 he came from the Air Coryell system where throwing the ball was done a lot. Well after going 0-5 and they soon discovered what they had was a very good Running OL and back, so they changed their game plan to suit their talent. Not the other way around.
Something Blache needs to learn.
Coaches have to learn to swallow their egos sometimes.
