Former All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall caught passes from over a dozen different quarterbacks during his 13 years in the NFL. But there was one quarterback he had that stands out to him as the worst.
Appearing on “Truth or Dab,” Marshall said that while Ryan Fitzpatrick was the best quarterback he ever played with, Jay Cutler was the worst from his Denver and Chicago days. He said that he considers Cutler the worst because he had so much potential but couldn’t come close to reaching it.
“The worst quarterback that I played with was – and listen, understand that there was just so much potential – and this was a Chicago guy, it was Jay Cutler. Jay Cutler should have won a Super Bowl. He had what it took to be one of the most legendary quarterbacks and so I would say Jay Cutler because he didn’t reach half of his potential,” Marshall said.
It’s an almost odd thing to say given that so much of Marshall’s production came with Cutler as his quarterback.
Cutler was the starter for the Broncos with Marshall as his top receiver between 2007 and 2008, and while he was in Chicago between 2012 and 2014.
Marshall enjoyed some of the best seasons of his career with Cutler as his quarterback, but the two were never able to reach the playoffs together.
In fact, Marshall never went to the playoffs with any team – not even Fitzpatrick, who he said was his favorite quarterback to play with.
