Not at all, completely different genres outside of what they usually make. Directing a sci-fi movie is completely different than any movie most of those directors have done. Most of them have been directing for 20+ years and have never done anything close to science fiction, how easy would it be for them to one day decide to direct a movie like Star Wars, which is completely different than anything they've attempted before?
Besides that fact most of them would have turned it down. There are only so many directors out there willing to oversee a universe like Star Wars, and pretty much put a stop to whatever else they're doing. Do you honestly see any of those directors willing to only do Star Wars movies for the imminent future?

Brad Bird is incapable of directing an action packed movie like Mission Impossible, all he's done is Pixar animated movies!
Just to show you how ridiculous your previous part was.

What the heck are you even talking about now? People loved Ghost Protocol, and it was one of the better movies of last year (93% review rating). It reinvigorated the franchise, and had many excellent action scenes. Brad Bird is a visionary, who is working on many upcoming projects that will more than likely be superb movies (1906 and Tomorrowland). Oh and the Pixar movies were also excellent (as was Iron Giant); Joss Whedon did Toy Story to start his directing career, but I guess he was incapable of handling the Marvel universe... oh wait nevermind.
But hey you compared Brett Ratner, who has never directed a movie with a rating above 70% to JJ Abrams, who has never directed a movie with a rating below 70%. Trustworthy comparison there!
