Every Philadelphia Eagles fan right now is saying, "Can everyone please just be quiet and stop making things worse?"
The reason they might be saying that is former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is adding his insights on what's going on right now in Philly. This time, he's focused on the relationship between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, which is not good at all.
“It’s something else going on,"Jackson said on his House of Action podcast. "I got a great relationship with him (A.J.). I respect him. I can’t say it. But I know it’s something else going on. It’s not all about football. It’s not all about Xs and Os. I’ve had Situationships with quarterbacks I didn’t necessarily like. And when it ain’t there, it sticks out like a sore thumb. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
Everything is fine here everyone, nothing to see in Philly
This isn't necessarily anything new, as many had started to suspect, going back to last year, that Hurts and Brown did not have the same relationship they did when they were both excited to be playing together in 2022. Brown has been frustrated by Hurts not getting him the ball more often and by Hurts not spreading the ball around.
Jackson's timing in bringing this up couldn't be worse, as the Eagles are dealing with locker-room drama. Brown made his comments on the Twitch stream last week about calling the Eagles an "s-show" and telling fantasy owners to drop him. Hurts is the story this week after Eagles reporter Derrick Gunn said sources told him teammates are frustrated with the quarterback.
Everyone outside the organization seems to have an opinion or story to share about the team. Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson called out the offensive play-calling and Brown for being too predictable on the routes being run. Now it's Jackson chiming in on the deteriorating relationship between Hurts and Brown.

At this point, it's whatever for Eagles fans as the team is 8-2 and still finding ways to win. People can say whatever they want, but the focus is on winning games and figuring the rest out in the offseason.
