It's time to just throw caution to the wind, and birth the hottest of takes on the public dais.
Why not Bourne as our WR1?
While Parker & JuJu come with the higher price tag, and the more established history of production, that means nothing in the "what are you now" NFL.
As all Patriot fans know, the "nobodies" or "underdogs" are the guys that become the heartbeat of THIS team.
Now, the facts - Bourne is faster and quicker than Parker & JuJu. Bourne has a cleaner injury history than both of those guys.
Bourne has shown more fight and passion in the preseason, while Parker & JuJu have been nearly invisible.
Parker can muscle over contested catches, and sideline comebacks, but is that a given? Is that an every game, every down, reliance?
JuJu has YAC ability, but that requires a burst to create space that we haven't seen yet. Certainly not on Saturday night.
Parker and JuJu are bigger guys that are prototypical possession (#2) receivers.
With Meyers gone, who else will be Mac's go-to WR? The answer was revealed in Green Bay - it's Bourne.
Time to just embrace it. He's earned the shot.
