This isn’t a receiver issue Maier sucks.

There's more that goes into receiver quality than just rate of dropped passes. Quality of route running, stop/start quickness, agility, ability to make guys miss, acceleration, speed, and overall awareness of each play including matchup knowledge (tendencies of the guy covering you).
Maier for the most part had a bunch of inexperienced receivers to throw to. Once Henry went down he really didn't have a go-to guy. Still, he engineered those 2 drives to force OT. He's a better QB than you're making him out to be.
Did he have some bad throws? Yes. But there's no need to panic. Over the course of the season he will show that he's a capable starter.
