Unless you are claiming that other top WR polay well against good CBs, but get shut down by the poorer ones. And that just does not make any sense. Basically you guys are criticizing AJ for not doing something that no other WR has ever done.
AL had a good game against the Pats when they had Revis. He had a great game against the Dolphins when they had Brett Grimes. Champ Baily was still a pro Bole player when when AJ had a bit game against him in '12.
AJ did nothing against Revis. He did all his damage after Revis left the game, so I'm surprised you'd bring that one up unless you just don't remember. Regardless of Bailey's Pro Bowl status, it was commonly accepted that Bailey was on his last legs in '12. He was 34 and only lasted one more (miserable) season. In 2 games against Grimes, AJ put up some numbers (193 yards combined), that said, he averaged a paltry 9.7 yards per catch.
I'm sure you could find good games by Dez, Julio, Calvin etc against top CB's, at least occasionally. I've seen it happen. It is what it is. We saw Chad burn top CB's, yet you can't even come up with a handful of legit examples of AJ doing the same.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
