Remember that Sam was never intended to use the Quantum Leap unit at all. The original plan was that *AL* (aka Rear Admiral Albert Calavicci) was supposed to be the leaper. He was older than Sam, but he had a lot more life experience than Sam did, including serving in Vietnam and having been an astronaut (at least trained as one, I can't remember if he was supposed to have been to space). There were a number of episodes where Al basically had to tutor Sam in situations where he would be right at home himself. Once, for instance, Sam found himself flying a fighter and Al had to talk him through flying it.
I was never comfortable with the heavily implied but never stated "godly intervention" theme behind not being able to bring Sam home. The final episode, sadly, seemed to all but confirm it to some degree. (I hated that episode. I want ANSWERS, DANGIT!)
