I find it mind boggling that anyone should question a major airline Captains ability to hand fly a approach without automation in VFR conditions. If they can’t they should not be sitting in the front of the aircraft.
I assume you are not a pilot. Any captain can hand-fly an approach in VFR, yes, but if you read the thread, there was a LITTLE more going on. It's when things become non-normal that the real ability is found

Full marks to the Flight Crew, and I gather the Cabin Crew were reassuring the passengers. Full marks to them too.
