Caliper or pads

Brakes seem fine when i step on them. Looked today and driver rear side had deep grooves on rotor and literally metal-on-metal. The other side had a fair amount of pad left. Should the wear be more or less the same on each side? Is this definitely the caliper or could it be just the pads?
