Those are facts that are objectively true. That in itself doesn't make him better, it just makes you wrong about Robinson being more athletic.
If you said he was more instinctive and natural when separating or finding space against zone, I would have agreed. Instead you intimated he was just a better athlete. HE's not.
Conley is one of the better athletes playing WR in the league. He's OBVIOUSLY not one of the best players at the position. One thing doesn't equate the other.

Again, I DID NOT SAY HE WAS A BETTER "ATHLETE", so please stop trying to put words In my mouth. Also, Conley has played many more games than Robinson and yet you can't find any evidence to back up your claims?
I also disagree that Robinson dropped "easy" catches.
HERE are highlights from that game and let's go through the catches.
@22 seconds The first was catchable I agree
@35 seconds the throw was too strong imo so I don't blame Robinson
@5:25 he caught a tough catch down low
@5:57 there's no way he could have caught that ball as it flew past him
@6:22 again Robinson makes a good catch as he rose up high
@6:34 Robinson beats his man and Pat overthrew the ball
@6:52 he catches the ball
@7:08 Pat throws the back shoulder too quickly and a little low, so again I don't think Robinson is fully to blame here
@8:22 was the catch of the game and brilliant by both Pat and Robinson
So imo the notion that he "dropped a bunch of easy catches" is total BS. He's human, so of course drops are gonna happen, but to suggest it's some sort of habit in his game would be wildly inaccurate. In fact, from the evidence I've seen he has a tendency to make outstanding catches actually.
