If you have excellent raw talent, yes. But if you have average talent that you are trying to get to work together and excel so that the whole exceeds the parts (ala the Williams defense 2 years ago)? No.

Wasn't Gibbs magic always predicated on getting more out of the sum of his parts than seemed possible?
