I'm not particularly high on either guy... but Robinson had his chance last season and essentially shit the bed with his barely 50% catch rate (compared to Conley's 68%), multiple drops in few attempts, ect. Put it this way.
Conley needed 16 passes thrown his way to get 175 yards on 11 catches
Robinson had 39 passes thrown his way for 212 yards on 21 catches... 10.1 YPC.
I don't see where you're getting this. The eye test says Conley is a better athlete (as well as the combine) and he's more productive.
What do you like about Robinson?

The hype for Robinson started last OTA's right before Maclin was cut. Then he made those huge splash plays in preseason against the Titans, and had another good game against the Titans in the playoffs. The nephew of a former NFL WR, Robinson has always had talent, and he's flashed, so it's easy to understand why fans may expect a break out season from him.
But i agree, he's not the athlete that Conley is and doesn't have the hands or production that Conley does. But one guy is returning from a season ending injury and the other is building on his first season with any significant playing time. So it will in fact be a camp battle.
