But I do know that Sawyer has fricked things up as leader. That "I don't react, I think" hasn't worked out too well. He handled the Sayid problem poorly, the Ben problem poorly, and now all this poorly. People will point things were fine before Jack, arrived, but things weren't exactly surprise-free when Jack wasn't running the show

Sawyer himself hasn't really screwed up yet. Everything bad that has happened has been because others refused or were unable to follow his instructions. If Sayid had knocked Sawyer out like he told him to, then everything would probably be alright. If Jack did the surgery, then he wouldn't have had to have gone into the jungle to risk everything. If Miles had erased the tape like he was told, then Phil wouldn't have found the tape and had to knock him out. If Kate, Jack, and Faraday followed Sawyer's instruction, then they would have had time to gather their things and get out of there.

Everything that has happened is hardly Sawyer's fault. Its just Jack would make up stupid plans and they would backfire tremendously, which is obviously going to happen again. If everyone listened to Sawyer, everything would be alright right now. Sawyer's been getting the raw deal and his subordinates, not him, have been fricking up.
