Part 3/7:
Critics pointed out that during a recent game, the passing performance was subpar. Jaylen Hurts faced scrutiny for being hesitant, missing several open opportunities to target Brown. An emphasis on making the right decisions, particularly at crucial moments in the game, often leads to frustration among receivers who find themselves in one-on-one situations yet remain underutilized.
Brown received only four targets leading to 40 yards—a statistic that many commentators deemed unacceptable given the caliber of player he is. Recognizing that he could have contributed more to the team's efforts, there is a clear expectation that Hurts needs to become more aggressive in targeting primary receivers like Brown, particularly when the game is hanging in the balance.
