Not necessarily bad.
Check the slider accordion boots. Make sure there is grease in them and the slider pins can move freely. If not, some high temp grease should fix it.

The slider pins hidden underneath the accordion boots should be able to move freely in and out. If one of them is stuck or damaged, you can get replacement pins from your local autozone for $5/set.
Most times when the caliper sticks and causes the rotors and pads to cause excessive heat, it's because the sliders are out of grease and causing the pins to seize.
