Your comment reminds me of my Drew Bledsoe revelation.

Back before the talented and beautiful Tom Brady graced us lowly Pats fans with his angelic presence, we had Bledsoe, who at several points in his career was a damn fine NFL QB. But by 2000-ish his performance was slipping and he was feeling a lot of heat.  I was a Bledose fan, and I vividly remember arguing with someone "well, if he has a good offensive line, and good running backs, and good receivers and good tight ends, then he can be successful!".  And then I realized, no  Sherlock, just about any replacement level NFL QB can be "successful" if everyone around him is above average.  And I stopped my blind support of Drew Bledsoe.

I feel the same way about our offense.  If we have unquestionably great talent at every spot, the O will improve.  Well, duh.  But that's not going to happen. Even in our salad days we always had a weak link or two.  The system has to be able to cover for that, to some meaningful extent.
