This is exactly what I've been thinking as I've been reading through the comments. Yes, I've been in this situation a number of times. The manager can/should do whatever can be done (training, etc.) to bring Ted up to snuff. The last time this happened, the team really tried to help Ted, but ended up working around him so that we would not be hobbled, but we all resented Ted and and the manager. . .and all the previous managers who had allowed Ted to hang around. We did become somewhat more self-managing as a team, but we kind of staged a mini-revolt against our manager - and her manager to do it.
