Yes, if a battery is stone dead and won't take any charge you won't be able to jump that vehicle. More than likely your jumper cables won't carry the necessary amps to operate the starter and still have enough juice left to fire the ignition.

How long do you have to drive around to charge a car battery after jump starting a car?
You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.
