Washington was by no means considered a brilliant military commander or genius tactician/strategist. He won when he had to, however, and made the right decision at crucial junctures that kept us in the game.

Washington knew he just keep the army together. Considering the circumstances, there are few leaders that could have done much better.

This is meant as a compliment: Washington is considered a world class retreater. There was many times where he kept the army togeather after a tactical retreat or defeat which are considered genius.
