According to yahoo, Bengals tied with Giants for 18th best QB options in the NFL

4. Seems I take you at your word; however, the same courtesy is not extended. I have never whined about the National perception of Marvin Lewis. As a matter of fact I only know of one place where he is rated unfairly. Can you guess where that is? I also noticed that you didn't answer my question: Do you think it's fair for coaches with 3 or fewer (seems to be the QB benchmark) seasons be ranked ahead of Marvin or should they have to prove themselves? 

5. As I said: I'll take you at your word.

6. Of course a team that makes it to the playoffs is better than one that is not; however, that has zero to do with individual accomplishments. MTF, the best playoff QB under Marvin Lewis' tenure is AJ McCarron. As to Shuab: I can agree he and Andy are similarly talented QBs and Shaub was all set the be the Raider's starter until a second rounder beat him out. 

4. Sorry, it just didn't make sense that you've been defending a coach for 10 years that is almost universally panned by the same experts whose opinions you apparently value. To answer your question, yes coaches should be given 3 years to prove themselves either way. It's tough to formulate a solid opinion after only a year or two. Chip Kelly started off looking like he'd be better than Marv. Now look. Ron Riviera looked pretty bad after 2 seasons...now he has 3 division titles, a SB apperance and 3 playoff wins.

6. AJ McCarron has a 68.3 rating, which would still rank dead last among active players, if he qualified. 4 different QB's...all terrible under Marvin Lewis. Just makes me wonder. Not sure what you're driving at with what you said about Schaub. He was washed up by the time the Raiders signed him.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
