WI President Robert E. Lee, General Jefferson Davis?

What would be the potential effects of switching Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis' positions at the onset of the Civil War? Would either be better at said job they've been switched into, or worse? How does the war flesh out?

Lee had no political position, political experience, or political clout at the beginning of the war. He was just a good army officer who had fought in Mexico and captured John Brown. There is no way he would become President.

Besides, the Montgomery Convention picked a President before Virginia had seceded.
