Alduin, lorewise, is stronger than the daedric princes, the Dragonborn defeats Alduin by stripping his power from him, and even then they couldn't destroy him. I don't think Vile is considered weak by anyone, and his sphere, power through pacts and rituals, is massive. Considering what Miraak was able to do, I'd say the Dragonborn is pretty powerful, and if you consider them a Shezarrine, even more so. Now that I think on it, Vile could just be making arbitraty statements and the Dragonborn could still become vastly more powerful than they are now. The Nerevarine probably is in the same tier as them, as well. Shouting isn't where the Dragonborn's true power comes from.
