Sporting News Asserts That Cutler Made the Right Call on Marshall

Dennis Dillon over at the Sporting News has a good piece up about Jay’s recent press conference that we’re already tired of hearing about. I normally wouldn’t post anything other than a passing link on an overplayed story like this but it bares quality writing about our quarterback. Dillon is about the only piece of the national media (I’ve seen) that can compile a level headed take on the recent Cutler/Marshall relationship.

He goes on to say that Cutler has dispelled any leadership doubts after criticizing Marshall’s behavior. In response to Jay’s quotes “He’s not my favorite person right now,” “I mean, I support him, but it’s always something with him right now.” Dillon had this gem of a response:

“Good for Cutler. If he can be outspoken about a friend and teammate now, it bodes well for how he’ll be able to handle pressure situations on the field when he begins his second full season as Denver’s starting quarterback.”

The article goes into an interview Dillon did with Cutler while visiting Vanderbilt and wraps up with this quote summarizing Jay’s comments on why Marshall needs to change his ways:

“Maybe a rebuke from his quarterback will be the call that finally wakes up Marshall.”
