Palmer wins a playoff game before we do under Lewis

But I don't agree that his winning one playoff game proves that Marvin can never win a playoff game or that Palmer has always been a great QB who was held back buy his coaches.

Tom Brady has lost playoff games to Jake Plumber, Joe Flacco (who completed just 4 passes for 34 yards), and Mark Sanchez.  So I don't get too carried away with just the results of one postseason game.

What you are saying makes a lot of sense, but the main thing I take from this is that we've only had the chance to see 1 single QB that went winless in the post-season with Marvin play 1 playoff game and he came away with a W.  It's a sample size of 1 and there is a lot more going on in the NFL than the QBs, even though they are the most important (face it, Rex Grossman and Mark Sanchez have more post-season wins than the Bengals do in 48 years), so it's not some slam-dunk conclusion.

The knocks on Marvin often focus on the post-season and prime-time, and Palmer has done a lot better in each since he left.  It's nothing I'd bet my life on, but real life doesn't offer many opportunities for data collection.
