Player or the system?

This week's PNFL News asks that question, in regard to its rating of Jets QB Mac Jones as the 35th talent yet he leads the league in QB rating. Is it the player or the system?
Answer is, it is BOTH. The player has to have sufficient talent to succeed in a good system. Jones has that, with solid ratings in ST, IN, DI.
Good QB + bad system = failure
Poor QB + Great system = failure
A great system can not make a bad QB into a great one. A mediocre QB can tank in a great system. Case in point, look at who Chicago is likely to start this weekend. I doubt they traded for Dak Prescott to have him sit on the bench behind under-performing Justin Fields.
