Like a ship with no wind, it doesn't move.
An idea with no support lies "dead in the water" which also means it will not get any help to move forward

It means that his idea was no good, that it obviously was not going to work.

It means his idea was soon "stuck" and it(the idea) couldn't accomplish what he had originally hoped it would accomplish.
