Agree. He will be the best American marathoner as soon as he runs one. He has shown he is strength oriented. 3:50 speed and 26:44 strength, and a 60:30 half 4 or 5 years ago showing that his strength extends more than 10k.
I would predict a 2:05:low on a legitimate course like London or Chicago, though he'd probably run NYC as his first (unless he is running the trials).
Thats almost as fast as bekele's debut and much faster than Mo Farah's debut. I doubt he can
And consider that Meb Keflezighi is a marathon specialist , ran the marathon for more than a decade and his PB is around 2:08.37
