Cutler praises Marshall: "Can be one of the greatest ever"

[BabyTO]

WILLIAMSBURG - Jay Cutler's recent addition to the Chicago Bears' roster appears to have ended almost a decade of musical chairs at quarterback in the Windy City. But a receiving corps rated average at best begs the question of who will be on the other end of Cutler's passes.

An enticing solution could be wide receiver Brandon Marshall, Cutler's former teammate in Denver. The two connected for more than 100 completions with the Broncos each of the past two seasons.

Like Cutler — traded by the Broncos to the Bears in April — Marshall wants Denver to trade him. The prospect that the Bears, who reportedly might be interested in Marshall, could bring the two Pro Bowlers back together seems to appeal to Cutler.

"I talked to 'B' a few days ago," Cutler said during an appearance Monday at William and Mary's Colonial All-Pro Football Camp. "Just checking in on him and seeing how he's doing, because I went through a similar thing that he's going through.

"I played with Brandon for three years and I think he's one of the best receivers in the NFL. I think he can be one of the greatest ever to play.

"He's big and fast, and can do everything you want him to do, on the field and in the meeting room. I don't know what we're going to do. That's up to the guys upstairs. If we make a run at him, we make a run at him."

If not, Cutler — who threw for 4,526 yards in Denver last season — sounds confident that Devin Hester can fit the bill as the Bears' top pass catcher. A converted defensive back who made a splash as one of the most exciting kick returners of recent years, Hester caught 25 passes for 347 yards in the final six games last season.

"I've watched every game from last year and seen him in action quite a bit," Cutler said. "It's a tough transition from (defensive back) to receiver. He's still learning, but overall I can't be happier with how we're working together and his progression.

"I think he's definitely a legitimate No. 1 receiver in the NFL."

Cutler, a fourth-year quarterback from Vanderbilt, moved from Denver to Chicago after a tumultuous series of events. The Broncos fired 14-year coach Mike Shanahan following last season's 8-8 finish.

When Cutler learned that new head coach Josh McDaniels — the former offensive coordinator in New England — was attempting to bring Patriots quarterback Matt Cassell to Denver, Cutler demanded a trade. Cutler says he would now handle the matter differently in some ways, but expresses no regrets about landing in Chicago.

"It's very rare for a player to want to get traded and it work out the way it did work out," said Cutler, who was traded for two first-round draft picks, a fifth-round draft pick and Chicago QB Kyle Orton. "It's kind of a victory for the players, but I think Denver felt they got a pretty good deal, too.

"It worked out for both of us in the long run. I think they're happy with the situation and I couldn't be happier being in Chicago."

The Washington Redskins also made a run at Cutler. Cutler empathizes with how Redskins' quarterback Jason Campbell must have felt as the team sought his replacement.

"It's tough," Cutler said. "It happened to me. He's handled it great. He's said very few things, kind of handled it internally within the organization and kept it in the building."

"He's just got to keep doing what he's doing — work hard and run the offense."

The Bears' acquisition of Cutler makes them the favorite of some to win the NFC North. He welcomes the high expectations.

"Defensively they're solid and special teams they're solid," he said. "We've just got to put up some points.

"I think we've got the weapons to do that. The offensive line is great. We got (All-Pro offensive left tackle) Orlando Pace (formerly of St. Louis) in there as well."

Cutler has some time to wait before the start of camp in late July. He spent some of it Monday tutoring future stars at William and Mary.

"It's well put together," he said of the camp. "They're letting the little kids go out there and just have fun, and teaching them the basics.

"You can get a little more specific with the older kids, helping them out and teaching them some tricks."

He made some similar comments (Hester is a no.1 WR yadda yadda) last week but this is a new interview (today).

Jay is right of course .... B gets his head on straight and the sky's the limit.


I'm drunk, can you tell?

i find it odd that he understands that, seeing as he handled his own situation like a 4 year old with hurt feelings. crying to the media, getting his agent to complain for him and eventually giving the silent treatment until he got his way.

I doubt he really praised Marshall at all. I bet he said something along the lines of Marshall? Marshall who? Oh you mean that dumb ass that beats up chicks and eats babies I use to throw the ball to in the **** hole of a city I used to play for last year. That guy was only good because of me and my golden rocket arm that is stronger then Elways and Farves put together. Then he grabbed a bottle of vodka and chugged that and punched the interviewer in the face and said **** you I'm out.

Cutler on Marshall...

Big, Fast, Strong, can do anything you want. Can be the
greatest to ever play.

Cutler on Hester...

Well he's a converted DB who is still learning, but yeah he can
be a legitimate #1.

Sounds right for a guy that does nothing but toss his team mates under busses.

Wait till the games start and his receivers are dropping his passes or the Oline has him running for his life taking a lot of hits.

What is he supposed to say about Hester? He sucks? He's not a starter? Everyone knows he sucks. He can't say that, it's his team mate now.

[Man-Goblin]

Tampering. That's another 1st rounder. Cough it up, Chicago.

You basically just **** on yourself, Jay.

Why can't anybody get this right? Denver got two 1st round picks, a 3rd round pick, and Orton. Chicago got Cutler and a 5th round pick.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Who knew these two were so gay for each other?

And Jay...keep it shut, son. Every time you open your mouth, you come off as a bigger douchebag than the time before.

"If we make a run at him"...Does this idiot honestly think Denver would trade Marshall to Chicago to let him play with Cutler? Not a chance in the world.

[ZONA]

Chicago doesn't have any chips to play anymore. This is all media blow. I guess that pretty much ends this story.

[Dale Snorts Blow]

Practically 95% of this board were Cutler and Marshall fanboys last December and now both players are with Al Qaeda. WTF!!!

McDickless isn't going to keep me from being a fan of the two. These two actually did great things for the Broncos. This pee wee head coach hasn't done jack **** for the franchise. He hasn't won a game. He doesn't even know what being a Bronco is all about.

in the last decade, being a Bronco came to be known as being a mediocre team, with a lot of b****ing and moaning, and an aversion to putting in the necessary work and desire to get to a Super Bowl or to be more than average.

McDaniels doesn't know about being mediocre in his career, he knows about being a winner, and being apart of a team favored in almost every single game they play, and being apart of a team that isn't about catering to the guys who think they are above the team, but rather about making the team the most important thing to each individual.

I'll gladly take some Patriots style mentallity in Denver, if it gets us past being annually mediocre, and in a continual state of saying, "wait til next season, or next season we are going to be good, we are going to turn the corner" only to end up the same as we were the year before regardless of the overpriced FA signings, or bad decisions by GM Mike Shanahan.

The one constant with this franchise now is Pat Bowlen and Joe Ellis. Lets pay for Broncos merchandise and tickets because he love the ownership and the executives. They are so cool!!! I can't wait for Upper Deck to start printing NFL executive cards.

what team? the ****ing broncos, d-bag. after the defensive season we had last year, we have basically an entirely new D and special teams, youre gonna complain about that?. the offense is almost unchanged, except for RB and QB.
