Sully could have landed any Boeing in the Hudson as well as the Airbus. Don't give credit for his skillfull landing to a machine because Sully did it with his skill and nothing else. Airbus has a lot of automatic features but none of those helped him that day. His talent as a pilot saved all of those people, nothing else. We are all very proud of him.
Lets stop eulogising shall we, and call it 50/50 ... sure the crew did well, particularly making the right decision very quickly and not losing focus.
