He was a vital part of a good team across the board, and because they were a good team across the board, they didn't go through games, let alone eras where people were saying 'geez, if they didn't have Aikman, they'd suck balls.' He didn't make mistakes, he read the game and orchestrated it, he provided a leadership foundation, but he didn't carry the team on his shoulders. THAT'S what we mean by game manager, not some guy who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when the chips are down.
Certainly, when the team sucked early on, he sucked right along with them. But who knows, maybe he could 'carry' a team, but Jimmy Johnson was smart enough to build a team that was strong everywhere and that wasn't necessary
sorry, there is no polite way for me to say this....you are freaking clueless
