Yes. Francesca was a strong personality who was at least trying to target Boston Rob from the jump; she just got screwed by Philip's early stupidity and Rob's (in his 4th season) alliance.
Erik was gullible, but he was thinking what he needed to do to win the game. Cochran never got close to a clue on how he was ever going to win the game.
As far as Brandon, all you need to do is look at their interaction post-merge, when Brandon is convincing Cochran he'd be protected after he flips. One is strong and playing the game, the other is weak and getting played.
Brandon's self-created morality quandary was kind of silly, and obv giving up the necklace was dumb, but he was still a stronger force as a social player.
All three were magnitudes better at challenges.
