Not to mention the pass on AJ against the Niners when there was blatant pass interference on at least one play, let's just ignore or pretend none of that happened. More media crap, AJ deserves better.

He totally deserves better.

I don't think Smith can carry the load a AJ can, awesome receiver, but we would need another.As much as I love AJ as a player and respect him, he definitely deserved to get chewed out over his performance in that loss. I don't agree with not wanting him back because of it though.
March 5Mar 5 People often have a hard time with nuance and complexity. Multiple things can be true about the AJ Brown situation. AJ is a competitor who wants to achieve and if he doesn't, he gets frustratedHe shows too much of his frustration through comments in interviews and his famous cryptic tweets and should know better than to add fuel to the fireHe's a dominant receiver and dangerous weapon for an offenseHe let his frustration show in his performance this year on many plays talked about throughout the seasonHe's well liked by his teammates who voted him as captain and continually defend himHowie and Nick praise him and defend himDom brought Lurie over during a practice to chat with him and ask him to stop the public comments and social media stuffAJ suffers from depression (and likely anxiety as they often are both present at some levels) which can impact his reactions when things aren't going wellAJ cares about promoting mental health awareness and trying to help othersThe organization continues to support him. If he is truly frustrated enough to want to go to another team, Howie will listen to offers but not accept a bad deal. Given the imbalance of salary on offense vs defense, they simply have to get more offense on rookie deals. So without any problems, AJ would probably be traded when it's financially feasible regardless, especially since he'll want a new contract.People react with extremes about him calling him a "cancer" and a "diva." Most WRs have a little bit of that diva, it's been a stereotype for a long time. He's not a T.O. He's not Stefon Diggs. He's not a guy out there committing crimes or doing anything truly cancer like. IMO he's in the perfect organization to handle and support him. Well liked, Siri is a player's coach that embraces different personalities and always defends his players. The team supports mental health awareness: the Autism foundation, Lane Johnson's issues, etc. There are teams where he wouldn't be as supported. There are teams that won't succeed as much as the Eagles and will he show more frustration at losing? I don't think there's a better team situation for him but perhaps if he goes somewhere else and racks up personal stats that will help him feel better, I don't know.

It's very much "You're miserable? Fine, leave!" Like the boyfriend who is butt hurt that the girlfriend won't let him pick where they want to go out to dinner and kicks her out then regrets it a couple hours later. I've been seeing a lot of people assume that Devonta would have this amazing year without Brown. I actually think he'd have his career worst season. Defenses will shift their coverages over to stop Devonta without another major threat on the other side and Jalen Hurts has shown he doesn't like making risky passes so he will target Devonta less. I think Jalen Hurts will have a bad season too because he's been pretty awful as a QB without Brown. I think the impact of not having him on the team would be very akin to Chip cutting DeSean. People tried to justify it and rationalize it at the time with extreme copium, but that move was the beginning of the end for Chip. It greatly impacted the offense, it exposed him as a coach, it exposed him as a roster manager. I think losing Brown ultimately would end with Sirianni getting fired a year from now and Jalen Hurts getting traded.It's always funny seeing Philly fans get all up in their feelings when they feel athletes don't "love Philly enough" and it always ends up backfiring."Cutter Gauthier... you don't wanna be here? GTFOH!" Yeah, how'd that work out, Flyers fans?"Jimmy Butler... you don't wanna be here? Go rot in Miami!" I remember hearing that one a lot. Only took like a year for fans to sink into a great depression over that move that I called at the time it was made a top 5 worst move in Philly sports history."DeSean... you wanna be a problem in the locker room and not do what the coach says? See ya... go be a cancer somewhere else." Didn't go so well did it.

GTFOH!" Yeah, how'd that work out, Flyers fans?Gauthier informed the Flyers through his agent that he refused to play there and cut off all communication with the organization. There wasn't any other path than to trade him. Apparently, he was a Penguins fan growing up and such a mature guy he couldn't bear to play for his childhood favorite's rival. I think it worked out fine. His overall crybaby-ness does contrast with Brown's relative maturity, but it is fair to ask whether AJ Brown does, in fact, want to continue playing in Philly.
March 5Mar 5 Strong feeling if we trade AJ it will be to the Chiefs. Something like 29, 40, and mid round pick next year for AJ and 122. Minds well pit New England and Chiefs against each other in trade talks.I also saw on Yahoo or something like that a few weeks back where they said AJ and 23 for pick 9
March 5Mar 5 Interesting article in The Athletic on talking with scouts at the Combine.Loved this but can’t be the Eagles because no Trash Can:A senior front-office source shared examples of some of his own team’s tags, which appear as small pictures within the reports in their system:Bounce dryer sheets — player lacks bulk, strengthPicture of a raw steak — raw player Orange juice carton — player has juice Pacifier — player is immature T. rex — player has short arms Eddie Haskell — team feels player is not being honest Stick figure — player weight is below a certain thresholdI also saw this and wonder how it is impacted this year with so many OC changes during roster building season:"Alerts, flags, letter designations that carry specific meaning internally — character notes, projection tags, special teams indicators. Each one has a (definition),” the senior NFC scout said, adding, "the more important thing is speaking the same language across the building. What terms do your coaches use to describe a technique or a concept? What does your offensive coordinator call a specific blocking assignment? Make sure the shorthand in your reports matches that. When a scout writes it and a coach reads it, there shouldn’t be a translation step in between.”

March 5Mar 5 24 minutes ago, LeanMeanGM said:Small nugget at the end "Eagles inclined to only deal with AFC teams"Makes sense. I wouldn't want to see a great WR added to our competition to get to the SB. It would also suck to get to a SB and face him. Quinton Mitchell vs AJ Brown, his BFF DeJean coming up to make a hit, would be weird. Send him to the Browns or something.
