Hey I didn't say sh1t about him being the leader because he obviously had some screws loose, but more deaths can be attributed to Rick's poor leadership than when Shane was in charge.
I blame Rick for not clipping the Governor when he had the opportunity in Woodbury. Say what you want about Shane but Rick needed him for backup. After Shane was gone he was the only leader the crew had.
shane was in charge for like 2 weeks, ricks been in charge for 2 yrs.
as for how rick handled the gov on the show, hey i agree. it made rick look incompetent compared to how it went down in the comics.
