I definitely understand the frustration, but four games is a relatively small sample size to base anything definitive off of. Even Brady and Peyton have terrible games, after all. Also, if there was a specific culprit at play, I would definitely cast a lingering glance towards a very paltry WR group. Even with a savvy vet behind center, there's only so much one can do if your players aren't getting open and making plays.
This is absolutely correct, you can have the best QB but without a good OL and good WR's to throw to you will have lots of bad games. Another factor to consider is the opposition's DB play, if the DB has great man-to-man skills the WR will have a hard time getting open. On the other side, if you have a strong OL and WR group and throw lots of short passes, you can have pretty good success even with a QB in the 60's.
Another factor you have control over is the depth of the passes - the further the QB throws the ball, the greater the variance of its path and the more likely it will get intercepted. Also, if you throw too much, your QB will fatigue and start to lose his accuracy even if he is the best in the business.
