Went back and did some wiki reading and I think you guys are right, Lannister is above Ned for sword skill. Barristen comments on how Ned is modest, he has seen him cut down a dozen great knights. Even found a quote from Martin that Brandon is far and away the best swordsmen of the Starks, and Neds talents lie elsewhere. I think seeing his duel with Jamie must have clouded my judgement, and a lot of the internet agrees with me. Ned shouldn't have lasted that long with Jamie... I haven't read the books in so long it all becomes a haze. Especially when Malazan gets mixed in there as well lol..
I think now that I am out of fantasy series it might be time for a re read.
