Topic drift ~ the question was whether a pilot should be capable of hand flying the B737 when:
i) the autopilot fails by using hand flying and FDs are available.
ii) the A/P & FDs fails, and Raw Data hand flying is required.
iii) the PFDs fail, and the Integrated STANDBY INSTRUMENTS are the only available source.
