Of course they do.

You contradicted yourself. First, you say Gruden's style was to tailor his offense to the QB rather than the other way around, SIMILAR to Andy Reid.
Then, in the 2nd paragraph you suggest that Reid is less forgiving than Gruden and would have more of a requirement for Geno to fit HIS offense rather than the other way around.
So if the 1st paragraph is true (Reid tailors his offense to the QB), then paragraph 2 is FALSE.
If the 1st paragraph is false or you misspoke and meant to say Reid is NOT like Gruden, then paragraph 2 is ONLY TRUE if Reid had actually demonstrated that his offense takes rigid precedence over the ability of his QB.
Which leads us back to my answer.
Reid built a different offense around McNabb than he did around Vick. And when Vick went down, he changed his offense AGAIN to accomodate Nick Foles.
Paragraph 2 is CLEARLY false. Which means the backhanded comment you made about Geno is irrelevant.
