Brandon Marshall racked up more than 12,000 receiving yards during his 13-year NFL career. He appeared in games for six different teams during his tenure in professional football.
Marshall was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2006, where he began his career catching passes from quarterback Jay Cutler. Marshall and Cutler teamed up again in 2012, when they were both members of the Chicago Bears.
Marshall, who currently co-hosts the “I Am Athlete” podcast along with retired NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones and Lesean “Shady” McCoy, played with a total of 17 quarterbacks during his career. Marshall recently named Cutler the worst communicator he's ever played with.

Marshall's reasoning behind selecting Cutler as the worst quarterback he ever teamed with revolved around the quarterback's inability to live up to his potential.
“The worst quarterback I ever played with, and listen, understand there was so much potential…was Jay Cutler,” Marshall told “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans.

Marshall says Cutler had the skills to win a Super Bowl.
“Jay Cutler should have won a Super Bowl. Jay Cutler had everything it took to be one of the most legendary quarterbacks. And then I would say Jay Cutler because he didn't reach half of his potential.”

Marshall's most productive seasons came when he was with Cutler. In 2012, Marshall was a first-team All-Pro selection. He finished his first season in a Bears uniform with 1,508 receiving yards, the best mark of his career. Cutler finished that year with 3,033 passing yards.
Culter finished his eight-year career in Chicago as the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. But Cutler's tenure with the Bears was up and down, and Chicago missed the postseason in seven of the eight years he was on the roster.

The highlight of Cutler's time as center in the Windy City came during the 2010 season, when he helped lead the Bears to the NFC Championship Game. He left the game with an injury and the Bears lost 21-14 to the Green Bay Packers.

In contrast, Marshall named journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the best quarterback he has ever teamed with. Marshall had a career-high 14 touchdown receptions in 2015, which was the same season he played alongside Fitzpatrick when they were both with the New York Jets.
