Ney lacked ability and was quite incompetent, but he's already dead, so I won't comment further.
Victor fought like an old woman, dragging his feet.
Massena was a very capable general, well-versed in the art of war, always exhibiting outstanding performance in the face of great danger, but would often fall into pitfalls when there was no danger.

Berthier was like a nagging old woman. The Emperor fully understood his talents; he was like a machine, good at noting down orders and then executing them by the book. In all aspects, I could do better than him, but the Emperor was too smart, so he didn't hire me to sit at a desk because he knew I had the capability to control and tame the wild soldiers, hence he hired me to do so...
