I have to disagree that the Wing T has an issue throwing the ball or that it is a weakness. The wing t is great for throwing the ball for a number of reasons.
The bone is not the best offense to overwhelm at the point of attack either. Its good because you can get guys across the midline of the offense quickly to either outnumber of give you a chance. Double wing and single wing offenses can get as many and often more to the point of attack faster than any other offense.
The question about fitting the system or molding the kids is a very common question. When you talk about a system you are talking about the entire playbook, techniques, and terminology. Molding a system to you players might mean using different formations one year due to the type of kids you have. It might mean putting in a few more pass plays because you can throw or changing the series on which you focus on or add. The wing t is a good example of this. A team might always run the belly or down series every year. If they have certain kids then they might run jet one year or throw more. They might use more red/blue formation or they might go with the standard 100/900 stuff because they have 2 solid rbs. You might run some outside veer because you have the QB. That is adapting your system to your players. I think that is different then changing the complete scheme from year(s) to year(s) like going from a wishbone to a 4 wide offense just because you have a QB or want something different.
Another reason you see all this one back or spread team with no lead blockers is because they are trying to zone block. The zone blocking scheme should allow you to handle the backers without a lead blocker. If you watch college or pro games where they use zone you'll notice the FB (if there is one) is often used to block the end away from the direction of the run and not inserting for backer. Zone is tough to teach even when you know how to teach it and even harder for OL guys to get good at with the limitations most HS face.
