You can still have the great player perform great songs (even if they were composed by someone else)
and THAT is why playing is more important unless your goal is to be a pro songwriter and have other people play your stuff for you
If you want to perform and/or record, you should want to be the best player you can be. Why just be "OK"? You might as well hire someone else who is great to play your songs at that point.
