Great thread breh.
People talking about McNulty as if Lester ain't the bigger threat.
McNulty was "natural po-lice" but dude was kind of a fukk up at the same time. Lester was pretty much always on point.
The rest of the team was hit or miss.
Regardless, the biggest hurdle wouldn't be their skills as police, it would be their bosses. They practically had to beg to investigate Avon and had to break the law to catch Marlo. If McNulty walked in talking about this guy:
is a meth kingpin Rawls would've had his ass on boat duty for the entire run of "The Wire".
However, if they were given a chance Walt would be busted immediately. Lester would probably
"don't get any ideas, now" at Walt's birthday party in the first episode, then he'd go work at Gray Matter.
If you really want to make this a GOAT level discussion, let's place this post-season 2 so Gus/Mike/Saul is in the mix. Things get a bit trickier then.
As far as Vic Mackey
you guys gotta be trolling me. The only way Vic would catch a win against Walt is if he arrested or killed him immediately. All these scenarios...."Vic would intimidate Walt and make him cook for him"....."the Strike Team would threaten his family"....did you not watch "Breaking Bad"? Because that's the type of shyt that literally
never worked. Any prolonged interaction with Walt is a guaranteed L....that's one of the major themes of the series.
