While A.J. Brown has gotten the football a bit more for the Philadelphia Eagles over the past few weeks, it hasn't always resulted in wins. Even in the games the Eagles have won, it isn't like this Philadelphia offense has been good.
But for Brown, who has made it known -- rightfully -- he wants the football, it's tough to say it hasn't caused an issue.
From complaints to social media posts to everything in between, it's caused a problem.
For Mark Ingram, a former NFL player, he believes a lot of this is on Brown.
"A.J. Brown was tripping for six, seven, eight straight weeks and they was winning. Now he getting fed, and they losing. So you just got to go with what the defense gives you and not try to make one person happy all of the time."
It isn't the worst take.
Jalen Hurts hasn't looked good in the past few weeks, playing worst than ever a week ago. However, some view Brown as the issue, as Hurts is trying too hard to get Brown the football instead of doing what he does best, which is making the right play to ensure the Eagles have a chance to win the game.
"Another problem: First-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who has never before called plays, runs an offense that is both predictable and flavorless. The most recent problem: Hurts has become hesitant unless he’s throwing to Brown, usually on the first read.
"All three of those problems get diminished the minute Lane Johnson returns. All three of those problems matter less if Jalen Carter is on the field. But the only thing the Eagles can do Sunday is let the ball find A.J. when the ball finds A.J," Marcus Hayes wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
There's clearly a lot that has to change.
As I've said in the past, I don't love blaming one player.
However, it seems evident that, in some sense, Brown is the one we have to point the finger at.
If the Eagles come out against the Las Vegas Raiders and win 42-0, but Brown has two receptions for 37 yards, he'll complain.
That's an issue, but not one that Hurts and the offense can worry about.
