ALWAYS had a vision and a plan

Mick is a good drummer, but saying he has vision is giving him too much credit. If that were the case, the band lineups that followed Lindsey's departure would have been successful. In fact, there would have been no need for TWO lineups because the first one would have worked. And while he is a good drummer that delivers a nice steady beat, he is hardly the most talented band member. From what I understand he often has to painstakingly practice his parts and there are at least two infamous instances in which he simply could not replicate what he did originally: the cowbell in Oh Well and the drumming in the song Tusk.

Still, I would not take anything away from him as a drummer. I love his work and I think the chemistry between him and John is unequaled. When you throw Lindsey, the true visionary in the band setting, into the mix, the resulting chemistry is red hot. If you really think about it, these three guys should ditch the others and tour as a trio. That would be rocking!
