Despite the Eagles’ impressive 11-2 record, the internal issues are affecting the team’s cohesion. Aaron Rodgers believes that a veteran leader is needed in the team to deal with and solve these internal issues, especially between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. He suggested a straightforward NSFW solution to resolve the conflict, emphasizing the need for strong leadership to mediate and maintain the team’s focus on their NFL playoff aspirations.

ā€œReceivers want the ball all the time, quarterbacks are trying to get them the ball, but shoot they’re 11-2 they have to figure that thing out because it’s hard to win in this league,ā€ Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee show. ā€œThey’ve won 11 damn games and maybe you shouldn’t be at each other like that all the time. Shoot I don’t know what is going on over there, I’ve got respect for all those guys. But you get a veteran guy in there who is a little scary, who can sit them both down and say, you shut the —- up , you shut the —- up, okay this is what’s going on and get this s….. sorted out.ā€

A.J. Brown’s frustration with the offensive’s performance has led to disagreements among fans, particularly as Jalen Hurts continues to focus on finding the playmaker, while Brown voices his criticisms. Rodgers believes that these emotions are often blown out of proportion and can hinder the team’s ability to perform at its best. Despite the team’s impressive overall performance, internal issues have the potential to disrupt team chemistry and distract from the ultimate goal: securing a playoff spot.

All three legends agree on one key point: problems should be addressed on the field in the moment, because discussing them in the media only fuels speculation and destabilizes the team’s strong performance.
