The Philadelphia Eagles may be 4-0, but they may have a problem on their hands.

It’s been a very quiet season for star wide receiver A.J. Brown, and after keeping silent for the first few weeks, Brown sent a subtle message to the organization that he helped win a Super Bowl.

The running joke around the internet is that WR1’s are often mysterious on social media. They have incredibly strong personalities, and any time something veers off track, they become an enigma.

Well Brown, who has gotten into verbal spats with his quarterback Jalen Hurts about who he’s throwing to, is taking the first step down that road this season.

He posted on X a quote from the Bible from Mark 6:11, that says “If you’re not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.”

Because ever since posting that, it has generated over four million views, 3,400 reposts, and 12,000 likes.

Regardless, Brown, who has posted 1,000 yard receiving seasons for every year of his career (minus one where he was injured for a chunk of the season), has hardly been targeted all season.

He’s been targeted 28 times in the first four games of this season, and 30 times in his first four last season. The only major difference is the catchable balls getting thrown his way.

This past Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we saw a stat line that seemed rather murky for someone of his caliber.

He was targeted nine times, and had only hauled in two catches for a mere seven yards.

And ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, someone who is never afraid to spew off a hot take, thinks this means Brown wants to leave Philadelphia.

Stephen A.: A.J. Brown is indicating he wants to leave the Eagles - ESPN Video Stephen A. Smith explains why A.J. Brown is frustrated with how he's being used within the Eagles offense.

The problem is, Brown hasn’t been the exception to the rule. The duo that he and DeVonta Smith had formed over the years was proving to be one of the more dominant receiver duos in the league. But since the season started, even Smith has posted quiet numbers. 

He’s only brought in seven more yards than his partner in crime, and a tepid 9.4 yards per catch – a drastic difference from his 13.1 yards per catch that he averaged before the season began.

The offense is just being run by two members of the Eagles and that’s Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. Brown, Smith, and other receivers like Jahan Dotson and John Metchie have done nothing to separate themselves from the pack.

On Nightcap, a show featuring Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe, Johnson wasn’t shy in explaining how this dry spell is affecting someone like Brown.

"Do you understand what that does to players mentally? I don't think fans understand. Yes, they won the game. But players want to contribute and help to win those said games.. He's been telling us this for years now, last year he was reading his book.. You're paying me $33M, not only am I the #1 WR, I'm the captain of the team for a reason. Allow me to be part of the offense."

And Johnson isn’t wrong, because if you want to do a comparison from another top wide receiver in the NFC, Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams, just posted a game where he had 13 catches.

And as we mentioned before, Brown has only 14 catches all season.

Something is going to have to change in Philly, or else the chances at successfully defending the Super Bowl is looking incredibly slim.
