Taylor was a pretty good general, but he couldn't cooperate with his superior (the fact Kirby-Smith was a twit is not the point), seems to have been a bit too focused on Louisiana rather than the big picture of the theater, and generally fell short of anything great.

But he was something above "competent", I think.

I see someone rated him a 4. What's up with that?
