Bears quarterback Jay Cutler doesn't want to get into it with his former wide receiver.
Brandon Marshall, now with the Jets after two seasons with the Bears, took two opportunities to criticize Cutler's play last season.
"There is a culture in the league that you keep everything in-house," Marshall said. Then he went right ahead and broke that rule.
"[W]hen we are going on 10 years, nine, 10 years in the league, it's time to get it," he said before adding how he was the only one with the "huevos" to hold Cutler accountable for his poor play.
Which, according to Google Translate, means he had an abundance of eggs with which to judge Cutler's play.
Cutler downplayed Marshall's view of things while speaking with ESPN Radio.
"Anytime you get traded or moved to a team there's going to be some issues you are going to deal with or questions that are going to come up," he said.
"That's only natural. All I can say is he's got a lot of good friends on this team and we wish him the best of luck. At this point we've got our own problems and things we are dealing with and we're just trying to concentrate on camp and get everything going in the right direction we need it to go."
Where it needed to go last season in Chicago is precisely where it didn't go. Under Cutler's tutelage, the Bears coughed and wheezed into a 5-11 result. That former chemistry between he and Marshall was missing in action, and the team dealt him to the Jets in March.
Cutler, to whom they owe $125 million, didn't budge. Nor will he when he's trashed by his former friend.
