While I understand A.J. Brown's frustration with the Philadelphia Eagles, and I've even stated a few times that, in some sense, he isn't wrong, he also doesn't need to come out and tear down the remainder of the team while expressing his frustration.
If Brown wants the Eagles to get to be the team they're looking to be, he also has to recognize certain things.
I think former Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock, who joined the 94WIP Sports Radio, had the right idea about what the Eagles are offensively. This is always going to be a pass-second offense, as the run game is typically going to be the focal point for this team.
"They're never going to be a top five, or top six passing team in this league or probably not a top 10," Mayock said. "Even with two top-level wideouts. That's probably not who they want to be, right? As long as they're winning football games they're going to live with A.J. Brown right now. I can't speak for the offseason, I don't know any of that but right now they're gonna live with it.
"As far as playing things close to the vest, they are. At a certain point, you're going to turn the ball over three or four times some game and need to score points...Somebody is going to stop Saquon, and then what? Are they going to be able to handle it? And they did. Every time we kind of say Jalen Hurts is not a top-level quarterback in this town, he shows that he is."
While that's a fair case, it's also important to remember what Brown has done throughout earlier years in his time in Philadelphia.
On the season, he has just 408 yards on 31 receptions. In two of the three years prior to this, he's had at least 1,400 yards.
That's a major difference in the pass game in general, but it can also have an impact due to Saquon Barkley not running the football as well as he typically does.
The Eagles will need everyone to have all hands on deck moving forward, as it'll be a total team effort to be where they're looking to be. If Brown continues to be frustrated, however, maybe it's best to move on from him at some point.
