No, there are some stories that are inherently dull and have no legs; "the cat sat on the mat, the end" no-one can do anything with that, it is complete and leaves no room for creativity. However in general yes execution matters more than originality but that doesn't mean that any old idea will do as the basis of a story, you do need something compelling and you need engaging and relatable characters to tell the tale through.
