Thoughts on DeVante Parker

[PatsFan2]

But...but he was wide open on the Int play to Parker.

Felger & Maz....aka......Squeaky and the Douche are going over the 50/50 end zone heaves by Mac in the last two games....
And based on audio from Mac who essentially said he was going for the jump balls no matter what....

"That's what we wanted to do on that play" ........(All or nothing mothafuc*kas!!!)

I stand corrected

I humbly beg for your forgiveness

Felger and Maz said so then you might want to assume the opposite is true. Those 2 idiots don't know anything.

Honestly I don't know why Parker is the one getting the hate.

How many games did it take LaFell to become productive in 2014... and that is with Brady throwing to him. And Parker really has much more competition considering how Aghlor and Meyers are playing... and everyone complaining how Bourne needs more playing time.

Its embarrassing how little Henry and Smith are contributing considering how much they are getting paid, that they are in their 2nd year here, and there are no TEs getting time over them.

The lack of TE production is disconcerting...

That's my confusion, I don't quite understand the usage/targeting of Parker as a deep threat so much. Seems like he'd be much better as an intermediate target where his ability to use his frame is easier. It feels like they're still experimenting.

Both ints were bad throws when he was shadowed by man cover with safety help... Classic set up for the tip drill we saw in Miami and Fitz was set up to just snack on a poorly thrown ball in Pittsburgh... The Pitt throw was better but both seemed short to me...

Got to wonder if the go routes are the best use of Parker as he isn't creating his own space... Be a better route for Thornton with his speed, if Mac can leg it to him...

Miami trading him in division to a major rival for cheap should have been the first clue that they had fully evaluated him and determined that he would not help and possibly could hurt the Patriots.

This is similar to when BB traded Drew Bledsoe within the division to their rival the Bills. Yes they got first rounder but BILL also knew that Bledsoe would not hurt the Pats.

Can't miss a play like that in our next two.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Give him an end around.. give him a screen... Give him a quick slant. Crappy offensive plays calling

Lol what? I am more pessimistic than most on this board and I thought we could beat the Steelers. We aren't supposed to complain about a guy taking snaps while contributing as many catches as you and I while another guy who seems to make plays every time he gets on the field loses snaps? If we won this game 38-14 then I could see the whiny posts about calling out a player who did nothing but we weren't exactly lighting the world on fire and need to have our best players on the field.

All I asked is that we do it on Tuesday. Let's appreciate how hard it is to win games in the NFL and enjoy the first W of the year. But it is just my opinion. If people want to whine about a receiver not performing up to their expectations go for it. Obviously, the coaches are content with the way Parker is performing, they know more than we do. He is probably making the right reads and blocking well. He seems to be drawing attention of the top CB's on other teams. Will KB or others do that and not complain? I hope he would, but for now Parker is in that role. I have no complaints with the coaches choice on this matter.

We have played two games and both teams when they have not played us has scored 35+ points in their games. Our defense is controlling the games, scoring points is not the most important thing, scoring more than the other team is. Two road games, we are 1-1. I'll take it.

I can respect that. Honestly it is still hard trying to recalibrate my expectations for the post-Brady era Patriots. If we won a game like this with Brady I would be annoyed and pick it apart but this iteration of the team in its current form I agree that a win is a win and we should enjoy it. All in all we beat a team that I absolutely loathe and seemed to get out of it without any major injuries. We didn't light things up but there were bright spots offensively. I think Harris ran well, Agholor had a hell of a game, that 4 minute offense to put the game on ice was nice to see, and Cole Strange did well against a very good veteran interior defensive lineman.

He should've written Dorothy Parker instead of LJ Humphrey.

How THE **** did Mac miss him?!?

I mean, that's ****ing Inexcusable.

Tua - or most Any competent NFL QB - would've seen him.

3rd round pick.

Dionte Johnson that Steeler WR you saw Sunday from round 3. As well as Damien Harris, Dawson Knox, Robert Montgomery.

He pushed it downfield more than I expected yesterday, but that is unacceptable. He needs to improve on looking downfield first than resorting to the short stuff.

Parker open at the bottom (Mac went over the middle instead and got 4 yards to someone else)...

Can't blame Parker for that one.

Parker is this year‘s Agholor. Like Agholor last year he is far underperforming expectations.

 

[Deus Irae]

Seeing people talking about specific plays, I thought I'd Just toss out a reminder that it's not just if you get open. It's also when you get open.

 

[Bill Lee]

Parker is this year‘s Agholor. Like Agholor last year he is far underperforming expectations.

The offense as a whole has not jelled, except maybe for the run-heavy 4th quarter of the PIT game, playing a PIT defense that is missing TJ Watt.

I think this is what a lot of us were talking about when we said we'd have an extended training camp, there just isn't enough time/plays in TC to develop younger players and fully integrate the offense.

Give it time. There is a lot of talent on the team, both players and coaches. It will get better.

He seems to be scared of/not very good at the seam routes. Brady and Gronk lived off that route for a decade.
