Brandon Marshall says Kyle Orton, not Jay Cutler, is best QB he's played with

Interesting how badly the relationship between Marshall and Cutler has deteriorated. Marshall has had some of the best years of his career playing with Cutler. Think they have had 4 100 reception seasons together. last year Marshall was hurt with a sprained ankle, then the chest injury. At one time Marshall was talking Cutler up as much as he's talking Smith up now.
Then last year Marshall agreed that the Bears might be having "buyers remorse" on Cutler. Now he is saying Orton was the best QB he ever played with. Really? WOW

Yea something is odd. Maybe he realized that Cutler doesn't care about football. That's the impression I always got from Cutler

Probably a part of it. Cutler has always been a jerk.
Marshall also has had problems with team mates every place he has been. Not to mention trouble with women. Has some kind of personality disorder. Sure hope he isn't going to inject his wisdom into the Jets QB situation, it is going to be volatile enough.
I'm pretty sure he's been diagnosed with po-polarism but just recently so I think he might be better behaved this year.
Did you also see how he told Twitter world that the Jets would be his last team? If he's cut tomorrow, he'll retire.
Marshall was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. He was diagnosed a few years ago and is receiving treatment and has become an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness. From what I understand, the illness can create depression, mood swings and other outbursts and is something that he has to continue to manage.
Here are a couple of videos from an E:60 segment that was broadcast last year. A good profile of Brandon both before and after the diagnosis. If you don't want to watch both segments, discussion of the diagnosis and the illness begin around 3:40 of the Part 2 video.
Here in Chicago, he was seen as a great success story -- a guy who overcame mental illness to be a great producer on the field and a great citizen off the field for the work he has done to raise awareness of mental illness. He gets traded to the Jets and all of a sudden the Chicago writers talked about addition by subtraction. He was a distraction, a bad teammate, a locker room cancer. The reporting was disgraceful around here.
I am thrilled to have Marshall as a Jet. He will have his moments where his illness gets the better of him, but he has emerged as a veteran leader off the field. Hopefully he will be just as much of a leader on the field as well.

I actually believe him on this. It makes sense, and one of the reasons I was happy to see the Jets sign him. One of the main problems he had in Chicago was he was flying to NYC every Tuesday (his day off) and doing a TV show. The fans and media questioned his dedication.
He clearly wants to become a talking head when he retires. Being in NY is perfect for that. If he can behave himself, and have two good years to close out his career, it will go a long way to secure his future employment
Cutler is a SEVERE Type 1 diabetic.
His mood swings are completely beyond being fully controllable, in spite of an insulin pump and occasional on-the-sidelines injections.
It's not that Cutler can come off as disinterested or moody, it's that his glucose levels swing so violently during heavy exertions that it's a miracle he can play NFL football at all.
HYATT™ once worked with a man with a similarly severe diabetes condition.
He would normally be the nicest guy, but when that crazy kicked in, he was a lunatic, and it would happen literally in seconds, like throwing a light switch.
When low glucose serum levels kick in, the brain starts to lose it's ability to focus, causing disorientation and even a semi-trancelike state, until the insulin or glucose resupply has a chance to reestablish some sort of normalcy.
That blank look on Cutler's face is ACTUALLY akin to a seizure without the convulsions, and is known as hyperketonemia.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) results from a shortage of insulin; in response the body switches to burning fatty acids and producing acidic ketone bodies that cause most of the symptoms and complications.
Try to remember that the next time you feel like calling some Down's Syndrome kid a "retard" - because that's pretty much what you are doing when you call Cutler an asshat or moody.
Those who know him well personally, SWEAR he is the kindest, shyest, most gentle man they know.
But stick a man with BPD and one with DKA on a football field together, exerting maximum effort, and you are literally lighting a fuse on a pickup truck load of fireworks.
PS: Kyle Orton is grossly under-rated as a QB.
He's one of the smartest football I.Q. guys in the league & has done alright for somebody with Chad Pennington type rubber band arm strength.
Had Lovie Smith just trusted him more, it's better than a 50/50 proposition that Middle Manning doesn't own that 2006 Super Bowl ring.
Grossman LOST that game, Manning didn't win it.
It was one of Peyton's worst post-season performances of his career & he hasn't played that badly in the playoffs since. (81.8 QBR)
FACT: In the 2006 post-season, Manning had only 3 TDs in 4 games, and threw 7 INTs in them.
