Mike Brown also wanted Colin Kaepernick over Andy Dalton.
Everything is in hindsight. Bengals saw improvement over what they had and what would help them. Marvin does deserve credit for what he has done. But back then, it makes sense why Lewis > Coughlin. Lewis helped create one of the greatest defenses of all time in Baltimore. Heck. The Giants didn't even attempt field goals or anything. It was punts or turnovers.
Just like the Bengals needed a quarterback to come in and be ready to play. Kaepernick was raw and certainly would have failed if he was just thrown in. Especially with the lack of camp and everything.
It's all hindsight in the end. The decisions made sense during the time.
