Martz owes his career to Dick Vermeil.

Those who give credit to Dick Vermeil over Mike Martz for the Greatest Show on Turf are simply wrong. I lived in St. Louis at the time, and Martz (and Saunders in KC) deserve(s) the offensive credit for those squads. Vermeil was about to be run out of town until the offense came alive under Martz.

I have nothing against Vermeil, but Martz was the mind behind that offense. It helps that he had some good toys. We have some toys in KC right now, so I wouldn't be against Martz if we upgrade at QB and RT...

He's a glorified QB coach. He should never have the playcaller's sheet, but the guy is damned good with QBs.
