That sells what happens in that show a bit short. He has people behind the scenes lobby to give him a chance and that his current performance has more to do with unexpected personal problems than actual ability. It's implied he was on track for a captain's chair at a very quick pace before the incident with space Rob Lowe.
Also, a lot of people selling the acting ability of a lot of the TNG cast short. Michelle Hurd is a bit camp though. When it comes to acting ability, the best part about her acting ability is the fact she's married to the amazing Garrett Dillahunt.
