Having good players around you is important, but having good coaching/scheme I think is even more important.

Drew Brees is a great example. He was with the Chargers for five years before going to the Saints in FA. 
-In his first five years with the Saints, he led the league in passing yards twice, completion % twice, TDs twice, and QB Rating once. (And won a SB)
-In his 5 years with the Chargers he never led the league in anything.

Completion % with the Saints: 68.8
Completion % with the Chargers: 62.2

QB Rating with the Saints: 101.3
QB Rating with the Chargers: 84.9

TD per INT with the Saints: 2.54
TD per INT with the Chargers: 1.51

Primary difference being he went from Marty Schottenheimer to Sean Peyton.
