Parker's not a bust, but he's definitely underperforming relative to expectations of being a #1 WR.
The receiving stat most correlated with a WR getting into the HoF is total TD's and Parker totally underperforms there, having only 4 last year while top performers had 10+ (and Stills had 9).
Even other stats he underperforms relative to most true #1 WR's and even to other WR's on our team. For example, 744 total yards isn't that much (rank #54 in 2016) and Landry got way more at 1136, YPR is decent at 13.3 and tied for 43rd best in 2016 but Stills had 17.3 YPR and was 3rd overall, and a catch percentage of 64.4% in 2016 puts him at #101 overall if you include RB's and at #71 overall if you exclude RB's but Sims (74.3%) and Landry (71.8%) were better.
Parker's a good WR when healthy (and complements Landry and Stills nicely), but he's not yet living up to expectations.
