Stephen Hillenburg gets all the credit for making SpongeBob what it was

I love and appreciate Stephen Hillenburg but I think it's a little unfair to say that he was the soul reason why SpongeBob was so good. That discredits all the writers and storyboard artists that worked on the show.

Also, saying that season 4 started the decline because Hillenburg stepped down is kinda lame. You gotta remember that a lot of writers left between the end of season 3 and the start of production of the first movie.
