I was just reading or watching something about this last week. I will see if I can find it.

Horribly paraphrased:

Carmack was able to pull off impressive tech without impressive level designers was the gist of it.

Romero is talented at the design side but at the time that didnt translate into better games / companies like the fundamental tech did.

Sounds like you are paraphrasing Carmacks perspective. I am pretty sure all Ids 3D games would have been duds had Carmack been in charge of game and level designs.
