I didn't get a chance to see the game. I was looking at his stats and I see he caught about 67% of his passes and averaged 22.3 yards per catch. However, since stats need to be taken into context, I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone thought of his play. I know we lost, but that looks like it was on the defense. Our offense did manage to put up some decent points. Was Parker a difference maker? Should we have targeted him more? Is anyone encouraged?

The problem with Parker isn't his play on the field. It's getting him on the field that's the problem. It's why he's so frustrating.

Nah, it’s his play on the field which is atrocious at times, especially when he doesn’t jump for the ball or break up interceptions. In this game though he played like a first round pick. However, I see this slug becoming lazy again really fast. I don’t think he’s got the personality to sustain intensity and compete week in and week out

It seems as though he does not conceptually understand the importance of work ethic and pushing your body to make it better then your just what you have to offer genetically.
Talent wise it’s hi level stuff, but upstairs is a question mark.

Parker had 1 drop, not sure where "he dropped several key passes" comes from, so we need to get that straight. He was targeted a few more times but the ball was not there, notably a wide open shot when he got behind the d and Osweiler over threw him by 5 yards.
I've been very hard on him because I think he's soft and has no fight in his game, but I have to give him props in this game. He played extremely well. Made a few really nice grabs and if Brock had hit him on that deep ball he would have gone over 200 yards with a TD. One of the best players on the field for us. Of course the worry is will he show uo again next week or just disappear again. The guy that played Thursday was the guy we thought we drafted.KeyFin, Puka-head, texanphinatic and 3 others like this. -

From PFT:
With the Dolphins still in contention for a playoff berth, coach Adam Gase expects the team’s core group of players to remain in Miami after Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.
“It’s highly unlikely that something like that would happen,” Gase said Monday, via Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald.
Receiver DeVante Parker reportedly has drawn interest from other teams, but the Dolphins’ injuries at the position make it unlikely the team would trade him. Parker had a career-high 134 receiving yards Thursday night against the Texans, days after his agent criticized Gase.
Parker said after the game that a trade is “not on my mind at all,” and, on Monday, Gase was adamant the Dolphins are not trading Parker.
“Yeah, I do,” Gase said when asked if he expected Parker to be with the team after Tuesday. -

He played good enough to trade for a guard, or a fourth at least.
