His average separation on routes is among the worst in the NFL.

Even when he has a yard of separation, he asks Hurts (and the team) to produce high risk throws so his stats look good.

After winning the Super Bowl, he says, "Yeah, I thought it would be better than this"

He's the f'n problem.

Anyone who doesn't see that is blind. Sorry - not sorry.

So good riddens and Good bye to AJ Brown - he was barely anything before coming to Philadelphia - Hurts and the Eagles made him a Super Star - now he wants out?

Later Alligator - in a while, crocodile.

He'll fall flat on his face anywhere he goes, Book it,

You must be drinking. AJ was a good player in Tennessee with Tannehill throwing to him. He's always been a good player. Also Devonta had a similar quote after winning as well. AJ saw this sheet offense coming in the beginning of the season

Lurie should be turning every page with Sirianni. I want him asking him what his vision of this team truly is. They went the entire season "without an identity". I want a list of potential OC's and position coaches with OC potential. They can't continue to have a revolving door at OC. I want Lurie asking him why he stuck with KP the entire season when it was clear as day in the first part of the season that he wasn't the answer. He needs to make sure he's accountable for the failure this season was and make sure he has a plan beyond just firing KP.

If Nick can't do all of that, of if Lurie isn't confident in the way Nick Responds, show him the door.

It's basically the 2nd time in 3 years he's had to have that conversation with him. Winning a SB last year shouldn't matter when he's shown he can't stand on his own or more importantly can't keep from making things worse with his philosophy/coaching decisions. I can't believe the best and only option is to keep a clown who isn't good at anything but relating to players when he isn't getting in the way on offense. Why has he won and made the playoffs every year? Because he has Howie building him a roster.

He blew his ACL in December; but he's big, fast and unpolished. I watched him run drag routes over and over for big gains - which might be in our playbook.

I wasn’t aware of the ACL.

If we could nab him in the second that could be a perfect situation. Keep AJ for one more year, let Bell recover and integrate into the offense slowly, then he takes over as a starter in 2027 or, if AJ gets back to form, we have the best trio of WRs in the NFL for a few seasons.

As it stands right now, my offseason needs and priority list:

1) New offensive staff except Stoutland. Patullo gone, Frazier gone, Moorehead gone, Loeffler gone, any position coaches gone. And hiring a new top OC isn't enough. It's long overdue this organization has some young bright offensive minds that are ACTUALLY WORTHY OF A PROMOTION. This team never has anyone waiting in the wings like other organizations do. They are great at this with the front office, but suck at it with coaches. Build a legit staff.

2) Add to the OL. They're getting older, they're banged up. Need reinforcements at iOL and OT. Would not be opposed to an iOL being their first pick in the draft. To replace Steen or also fill in. They need OL help across the board. I expect like 3 OL drafted in April.

3) Tight end. Long overdue. Probably need two of em. A receiving TE and a backup who is a great blocker.

4) WR depth. Even with AJ staying they need help there. Dotson will be gone, very little depth. Get some more downfield speed.

5) CB2. Need one badly. Tough to do with them paying Quinyon and Coop eventually, but could use a draft pick there.

6) Edge depth especially if Phillips leaves. Man this defense would be unstoppable with a dominant Edge. The Garrett rumors with Howie just won't die, but I don't see how they could realistically swing it.

7) Safety depth if Blankenship leaves,

8) Competition for Elliott. Two years in a row now, it's time to start paving the way for a replacement.

9) Re-sign your young defensive guys and decide who to keep. Starting to wonder if keeping Dean and getting rid of Baun early may be the move. Baun regressed this season. Just wasn't making nearly as many plays.

10) Keep Nick Sirianni away from all offensive matters. Take away his key card if you have to.

"Good" does not equal "Great".

He became a "Great player" with his 'former" best friend throwing him the ball.

His top shelf contract came after he became "great" with Hurts throwing him the ball.

You can make excuses all you want - his "great years" are behind him and he is throwing a hissy fit because his body is breaking down - blaming Hurts and everyone else because he just can't do it anymore.

Are you a betting man?

How much you want to bet AJ Brown never eclipses the 1400 yard mark like he did with Jalen Hurts?

How much?

Did Sirianni reshuffle his core values yet?

I think the most interesting area for improvement could come from WR3. Dotson didn’t really give us anything. We don’t pass a lot, so he dint make much of a difference as a pass catcher. He’s not super fast, so he doesn’t push coverage back. He’s not great at breaking NG tackles, so he’s not a threat on screens. And he’s not a world beating blocker, so he doesn’t give us juice in the run game.

Depending on who we bring in at OC, this is a place that could make a difference. If Wilson recovers we have our blocking WR, so I’d look for someone with game breaking speed. Someone who can impact how the defense plays against us without being a high usage player.

In an absolute fantasy world:

Mcdaniel tanks his HC interviews and comes in as the OC. In keeping with the weapon situation he loves, we get a 4.2 deep threat for Hurts to rediscover his deep rainbow in the breadbasket passing game, Devonta Smith settles in as the high volume primary target on intermediate routes, and they find a WR3/RB hybrid with exceptional agility who is an underneath matchup nightmare. Since both of those WR descriptions aren't exactly 6'2" 4.3 prototypes, they may be easier to find for less investment. (But anyone with that 4.2 deep speed has a way of sneaking into round 1). If Hurts re-channels 2022, awesome. If not, then Mcdaniel needs a QB who can drop back and see/target all 3 levels of the field.

Dotson isn't special but I also think he's more fine than we gave him credit for. The coaches lacked the creativity to vary routes and primary targets...and the QB lacked the vision to go deeper into progressions. So Dotson was sort of doomed from the beginning anyway.

Could it be the overuse of the "Tush Push" broke this offensive line? Case Study of 2025 performances of Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Mekhai Becton & Lane Johnson. All had deterioration of play this year. And even using Hurts as a battering ram may have affected his play this year as well. Need to dump that play ASAP. The magic is gone. 2024 Superbowl came with a cost.

How much?

Hitting 1,400 yards is more a function of being in a run first offense with a stellar #2 then some limit on his ability in my view.

If we up our passing and give him higher usage then he’ll hit those numbers.

2026 offense

QB: Hurts

OL: Mailata, Dickerson, Jurgens, Steen, Johnson/Williams

WR: AJ, Smith, ?

RB: Barkley, Bigsby

TE: ?

They are primarily looking for a starting TE and the 3rd/4th WR along with the usual OL depth. I think Steen remains the starter, unless they can find someone cheap and better. Lane Johnson is going to miss several games, so they need to be prepared with a solid plan. The FO got bailed out by the Fred Johnson trade. Their plan was seriously to roll with Pryor as the main backup. Goedert is gone, his blocking was downright terrible this year. I would really like for the offense to commit more to the FB if they are going to use one. It seems the past 2 seasons they have dabbled it in with Latu, BVS, and Khari Blasingame.

AJ hit 1400 in 2022 because Siri shut down the offense in the 2nd half. He should have had 1700+ with a real HC.

If McDaniel can make Tua lead the league in yards he can coach Jalen.

McDaniel put up 35-33 regular season with no playoff wins and went 5-20 against play off teams across 4 years, 3 of them with Tyreek, Waddle and Achane and one of them with Fangio as DC, tell me again what an offensive genius he is.

McDaniel is the signal example of actually not anyone can win with a stacked roster and good coordinators argument.

Not head coach. Offensive coordinator.

So if the Eagles fire Nick does anyone think he will have success any other place? Seriously, the people saying he should stay I'd love to know. Will he be an OC again? Not unless an owner is mentally insane, so maybe Dallas. Will he make the playoffs every year with another team? Not unless another amazing GM has a coaching vacancy. We saw yesterday he does less with more not more with less, so no he won't. Why does he have to stay then? Because of optics? Let's admit it he's a damn clown, but people think nobody else can step into that situation and do better? That he's the only one capable of making it work with Howie and Vic? Screw that. He won't make it any other place because it's the organization.

The fact he downplayed AJ being good prior to here is hilarious. He had 1000 yards as a rookie. He followed it by having 1000 yards and 11 tds while missing 2 games in his second season. In 2021 they went to a 17 game schedule. He missed 4 games and still managed to have 869 yards meaning he was on pace for 1136 if he didn’t miss time. This was all with the titans who had tannehill at Qb and were a largely run first team.

Aj brown has always been a great WR. Furthermore a reason we had to give up a 1st and. 3rd for him. People can be mad at how he played yesterday. He was crap. Can be mad at the sideline spat. Also be mad at how he handled the issues midseason. However Aj brown was accurate in what he said. He said it would ultimately catch up to him.

Meanwhile we probably should have the discussion that next year even if they win games ugly that shouldn’t just be accepting of "can’t even be happy about winning”. Because the process matters. Winning cause of a block field goal or not completing a pass for an entire half twice are not sustainable.

I think leading the league in rushing attempts by a wide margin took more of a toll than the tush push. But I still agree that play is doing the offense no favors. It was great while it lasted but it's over.

With Smitty on the other side?

A true team player - just as talented as AJ Brown - better hands, better flexibility - better route runner (without question).

No - Smitty is getting the ball - all day long. Undersized and questioned from the beginning - yet a Heisman and a Lombardi trophy later - still plays second fiddle to AJ Brown? Nope - Smitty gets his 1500 yards - AJ maybe 1k if he actually comes to work.

And this is why they may have trouble getting a top notch experienced OC. The NFL changes quickly. That's suddenly a really crappy offense on paper and there's nothing they can do about it.

Unless he’s injured an it’s temporary I don’t think he’s getting close to that in any offense anymore. Barely gets separation at all anymore and relies on bodying the CB at the last min. Avant also says he runs trash routes.

2022 AJ was like 30% faster
