As far a Shurmur...you can only scheme to mask your QBs short-comings to a certain degree. It'll work against lesser competition...eventually the warts will show.
The pinnacle of this is the Reid/Smith combo in 2017...Smith had a chance to win every play-off game with the Chiefs and couldn't do it.
He was what he always was....and Andy got the most out of him.
Jackson is another example...he might be the most scheme dependent QB in modern history. He is 0-2 in the play-offs because his warts (which were always there ) showed up....if the scheme breaks down, he cant overcome it... just like Smith.
