    I'm watching A Football Life with Brandon Marshall. I remember being upset about the Brandon Marshall trade and I blamed Ireland. From watching this show, i now know that Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall were the reason the trade talks started. I thought that was interesting. It makes sense because they played together, but this whole time I was thinking it was Ireland who initiated the trade. I can't fault Ireland for that, if someone doesn't want to be on my team if I was a GM I would no longer want them on my team and anything I could get for that person is a win/win scenario in my eyes.

    Sorry if this has been discussed before I haven't seen anyone talk about it. It is a new revelation to me so I shared it.

    one of the most overrated players on this board, in this league, relative to being called elite, never been elite, still isn't, and has shown once again why Ive been saying after watching him play in a dolphin uniform that he's overrated.

    big good possession receiver, nothing more nothing less..bad idea to run offense thru him, bad idea to give the inordinate amount of targets it requires to give him his production..

    after what I saw after two seasons, then at the pro bowl, I was ready to move on.

    I agree with Deej. He's an overrated possession receiver.

    Overpriced, and a headcase to boot.

    IIRC, either just before or just after we got rid of him, he caught 4 TD passes in one Pro Bowl game.
    He cant be that bad.

    Dude, really? That's basically an exhibition game where no one goes 100% and it means nothing. ;-)

    Put him in a game that matters and watch him come up small then go into a rant in the post game.

    Yeah that was actually one of my favorite episodes. Regardless of his play, I def have respect for the man the way he's turned himself around and doing good for the world these days.

    ts common knowledge that no defense is to be played in the pro bowl..

    Yeah, I know its not a regular game, but I doubt the Pro Bowl corners just give away TDs.

    Players show up for the free vacation to Hawaii and play NOT to get hurt. They get a minimum of $22,500 just to show up for it. They go thru motions and that is about it.

    They should get rid of it altogether.

    Actually the Cutler-Marshall combo is overated.As long as they are in Chicago the playoffs will elude them IMO.

    theres no defense, theres no sense of urgency, theres no hitting, sometimes at the end of games you will get a nice competitive man to man matchup, but basing any production from the probowl as your defense of how good he is, would be a bad move..
