Patton was unique in that, he would push his troops hard, but would never make them do something he wouldn't do himself. Kind of an Admiral Nelson of WWII. On the tactical level, he was quite capable, but brash and impetuous, which led Eisenhower to believe he was a liability so he put the guy where he could get in the least amount trouble, right in the middle. I'm not so sure he could have done any better than Montgomery on Market Garden, there were only so many bridges that one could take, and with Patton's style he would have rushed everything he had, just in time for the Germans to blow the bridge behind him, which could have caused an Arnhem on a much larger scale.
