The funny thing is that even when this offense has excelled, I've never gotten the feeling that much of it was Garrett's doing.
Give any arm-chair quarterback an All Pro QB, All Pro WR, All Pro TE and a dash of Pro Bowlers at every other position and they can draw up an offense that can score points. I've never really seen anything in terms of creativity or schematically that makes me think Garrett is an innovator of any sort.
So far, my opinion is that if we hand him a fully-stacked deck, he's good enough not to frick it all up. And that's not a ringing endorsement.
BTW, and yes I'm still on this kick: But any coordinator that consistently forgets about a healthy Felix Jones and doesn't know how to get him on the field makes me wonder.
