It's more about Mac than Bourne. He was nothing special at SF and improved here because of Mac, the system and coaching.Pats have a lot of question marks this year, but I don’t consider Bourne one of them. The kid can play.
YAC is hugely important and Bourne is elusive after the catch -- now that he was coached how to carry the ball safely.
On the other hand Meyers is a complete liability after the catch even with Mac throwing to him -- which is why he has only 3 TD's in 3 years and a low DVOA. He needs to be WR #4 or #5.
Additional thought: if Meyers is such a good possession receiver, why is he useless in the redzone? My guess is that he gets covered there, i.e. the opposition knows he's not a YAC threat so treat him as the lowest coverage priority anywhere on the field except in the end zone where they cover him and he gets erased.
