not an upgrade over Haith. I think the hope if that he could reveal himself to only be slightly worse, but that appears very unlikely to materialize. Even if he were to be the equivalent, because he was starting in such a hole that would still result in a failure due to how much of a mountain he had to climb. We needed him to be considerably better than Haith, and he simply doesn't have that capacity.
