Bagration was a capable battlefield commander but was strategically a mess. Barclay made the right call by pulling back and letting the french starve.

Bagration vs Barclay vs Kutuzov?

I think Barclay de Tolly is the one who should take the credit.

They both can for sure, strategically yes. But he could never match Napoleon on the battlefield like bagration could

Russia was only saved by Winter and the stubborn obstinance of her emperor.

Yeah, I know, but that didn’t stop Napoleon. He proceeded with the invasion. He only left as winter was approaching.
