Yeah, I said it. The character and the actor who portrays him are not good.
Sisko as a captain should be removed from his command after his idea to go against the advice of his experts and protocol to take a ship into an atmosphere that he admits is not designed to go into an atmosphere let alone a hostile gas giant. Within seconds the ship is critically damaged, several people are killed, and they spend the rest of the episode just trying to undo the damage this idiotic decision caused.
The other half of the equation, Avery Brooks, is just a bad actor in this role. His line readings rarely reflect the content of this lines. The captain should not be the weak link in the cast.
