Garrett's team respects him and plays hard for him, and that's a great thing. I've never seen the team quit under him like they did under Wade. I'll give credit where it is due.
But that's where it ends. Our STAFF outcoached Payton and his staff last night, not Garrett. The less Garrett is involved with the offense or game management, the better this team is. That is plainly obvious. Even Romo, the biggest Garrett backer on the planet, said after the game last night that this is the best offense he's ever played in (even better than the 13-3 year, apparently) and he gave the credit to Linehan for his playcalling and adjustments between series.
No, I'm not "complaining" or "whining" or "criticizing" for pointing this out. I was ecstatic as anybody in here last night, and I'm optimistic for the first time in years. But let's not go and crown Garrett and give him all the credit when its clearly Linehan and Marinelli who deserve the vast majority of praise.
