The big problem with B&R in the past was once the WR broke away, the CB would be so slow to react he'd be 5-10 yards behind the play. I haven't see that happen as much anymore. So is the DB's M2M still be rolled against the WR's route as soon as the WR breaks away?
If yes, then low B&R players with high M2M are no longer a liability because M2M skills will prevent the WR from reaching full SP immediately in most cases. Unless the WR is very good at B&R Avoid and Route, and in that case, he should just roast a weaker DB every time and make it look good.
If M2M isn't being rolled immediately after the WR breaks, then low B&R DBs are still massive liabilities because they'll try to jam, but since they ****, they'll miss. And then they'll open the gate and watch the WR escape downfield.
