Meyers disrespect is one of the weirder things on this forum. He was covered by the likes of AJ Terrell, Stephon Gilmore & Xavien Howard on 3rd down. Teams knew he was their main threat to move the chains & by all accounts he’s leading camp again in receptions.
He’s a good WR who would be more efficient with threats on the outside to get defenses out of cover 1. I’d be surprised if they moved him.
I'm one of the folks unimpressed by Meyers.
Sure he had respectable conventional stats, but by FO's system he was 70th in DYAR (total productivity) and 72nd in DVOA (efficiency per play) last year when Mac was throwing to him. He gets yards and first downs that don't help the offense much. And he gets erased in the red zone. Looks to me like teams are saying Meyers isn't going to beat us and prioritize covering everyone else...
...like Kendrick Bourne, who was 14th in DYAR and 1st in DVOA last year. Bourne made big plays when given the opportunity. Meyers didn't.
Or Hunter Henry, who was 5th in DYAR and 2nd in DVOA amongst TE's.
Or even Brandon Bolden, who was 4th in DYAR and 2nd in DVOA amongst RB's catching passes.
Even Agholor was much more effective than Meyers.
Meyers got lots of targets last year for very little production and took opportunities from receivers who were far more effective.
That said, as the 70th most efficient WR last year, you can argue he's above average as a 3rd WR option. There are lots of mediocre WR's playing in the NFL. But he's well below replacement value at -10% DVOA, which indicates to me that he can and should be replaced, and certainly shouldn't be the #1 target in the offense.
I might add that if you want Mac to be able to carry the team, he needs to get the ball to playmakers. Meyers is not a playmaker.
