How could Jefferson Davis (who as I understand was considered to be a terrible Southern president) become a Confederate general, rather than the leader of the Confederacy?

Who would become President in his absence, and what would likely be his reputation among the Southern generals?

How about in a modified Civil War, i.e., a sort of Civil War that happens without the Texas annexation or the Mexican-American War? I ask this because in my Deseret TL, there will be no Mexican-American War, and I was wondering if I could use Jefferson Davis for a different purpose than in OTL.
