[QUOTE=NY2FLDWC85;4500041]From Jordan to Tom Brady all the way back to Revis... All the great one's get the calls. It's the nature of the beast/respect the refs have for these all-time great talents.

Oh, I agree. But I think some people are so enamored of Revis and his talent that they think he executes perfect technique on every single play, and that's obviously not the case. Does he sometimes get away with physical contact? Of course. Is it often enough to discredit his performance? Absolutely not. It's like LeBron getting away with tons of travel and foul calls. It's part of the game (sadly).

P.S. You don't have to offer up a stat breakdown of Calvin Johnson for the purpose of your argument. We all know Megatron is awesome.
