Jimmy's quote just showed he is not yet ready to be a leader. He gave in to the demands/wishes of the others despite having his own personal idea on how Nucky should be handled.
I agree. But let's not forget that he's only 23 or something. Even Luciano was still a punk back then.
I don't think age has anything to do with it... Luciano was 23 at the time, as was Capone. Lansky was only 18, yet all three were more mature in their dealings with others.
