A good pilot can execute a landing like that.
A great pilot will find an alternative so that he doesn't endanger the lives of the people on board. An alternate airport, circling until conditions allow a safer landing, requesting a strip with a different orientation to minimize shear and side winds, etc.

I'd rather have the latter.
