For the life of me, I cannot understand how this is not working out for him here.
The word on Kendrick Bourne is that he hasn't been able to learn the route running rules for the options.
That was evident last year when he was responsible for so many collisions with his own team mates during games.
He may get a chance to redeem himself this year but if DHOP is signed he's as good as gone imo.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but I'll bite...He's been an inconsistent producer his entire career, even when he's healthy, which is rare. The guy completely disappears for games at a time. I don't see any of that changing now that he's on the wrong side of 30. Not saying the contract is bad, the goodgames he has can be phenomenal at times and win you those games, just be prepared for him only catching 1 or 2 passes total over the next couple of games after one of those
He has been up and down in terms of production but let's take a closer look as to why.
His first 4 years he had Joe Philbin and Adam Gase as his head coaches.
If that's not enough, as a rookie, he had Ryan Tannehill for 16 games but being a rookie in 2015 his snaps were limited & he only started 4 games. Philbin was the HC.
The next 3 years Gase was the HC. The next 2, Flores.
As a rookie had 26 catches/500 yds/20 1st downs/3 TDs. 19 yds/catch! Pretty damn good for a rookie if you ask me with Philbin as HC and Tannehill at QB.
In 2016, he had 56 catches/750 yds/35 1st downs/4 TDs. Rookie HC Adam Gase and Tannehill (13) games and Matt Moore (3 games) at QB. Very good.
In 2017, he had 57 catches/670 yds/34 1st downs/3 TDs. His QBs were Jay Cutler (11 games) and Matt Moore (2 games). Pretty good considering he played only 13 games.
In 2018, he had 24 catches/309 yds/14 1st downs/1 TD. His worst year but he played in only 11 games with Tannehill in 6 and Brock Osweiler in 5 games.
In 2019, he had 72 catches/1200 yds/58 1st downs/9 TDs. Great year Flores as a 1st yr HC and with Ryan Fitzpatrick (13 games) and Josh Rosen (3 games) at QB.
In 2020, he had 63 catches/800 yds/45 1st downs/4 TDs. QBs were Fitzpatrick (7 games) and rookie QB Tua (7 games). He played in 14 games.
In 2021, he had 40 catches/515 yds/29 1st downs/2 TDs. QBs were Tua (5 games) and Brissett (5 games). He played in only 10 games.
I think, with a little thought, this explains Parker's ups and downs. Give him a QB and a Coach and he plays well.
Health has been an issue. He missed 24 games over 8 years which explains his heavily incentivized contract.
Draft Sharks gives him an 83% chance of getting injured in 2023 and will miss 2.5 games this year.
