Gilmore's about as good as it gets; and he's often on the #2 WR as BB likes to bracket the #1 WR with a CB and a S and leave his best corner on the #2. Patrick and Tyreek and company hung 40 and a gazillion yards on that defense last year. How 'shutdown' was he?
And so, yes, I don't believe there's all that much difference in having a plus player at the position and a PLUS PLUS player. Not when there other problem areas on the defense, and not in regards to cost to BUY an elite corner.
But whatever. You can be obstinate if you want.

Hmm, you don’t see anything like possibly the greatest CB season ever recorded? Well gee, that’s weird.
You keep talking about last season. BB used to have Gilmore shadow the #2 but lately he’s been having him shadow the #1.
Idk why you keep pointing to one or two games as if it’s some sort of gotcha moment. You realize Deion Sanders and Darrelle Revis allowed catches, big plays and TDs, right? They also played on teams that got smacked from time to time. Didn’t strip them of the shutdown title.
