This simile may not mean anything to anyone who's not a college football fan, but Colin Powell, having achieved most of his fame in the first Iraq war, seems to me like Charlie Weiss.
General Norman Schwartzkopf was his Brady Quinn, and General Binford Peay the Jeff Samardjia.
No one really realized how inept the first was, ‘till he tried to win without the other two.
