It wasn't always like this.
Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall weren't always that couple, the kind of couple that's clearly perfect for each other yet enters into a feud that, at times, seems beyond repair. That's where Cutler and Marshall find themselves at.
This offseason, Marshall, now a member of the Jets, has used every opportunity to throw some shade Cutler's way. When given the chance, he didn't list Cutler as one of his favorite teammates. He didn't anoint Cutler as the best quarterback he's played with, even though that's pretty much the case. Most recently, he took a jab at Cutler and the entire Bears' offense from a year ago, a group that underwhelmed despite high expectations.
On Thursday, Cutler finally responded to Marshall's comments through a third-party. Luckily, Cutler didn't dance around the topic.
According to Around the NFL, Cutler said the following in response to Marshall's comments:
"No one really likes their ex-girlfriend just after a breakup."
Cutler was kidding, of course. He also went out of his way to compliment Marshall.
"He's an incredible player, he did a lot for us here, it just didn't work out," Cutler said. "I could've been the guy that got shipped out of here as well."
It might seem like forever ago, but it was only a year ago that Marshall was predicting an MVP award for Cutler. Now, they're throwing one-line zingers at each other.
Now, to steal a line from Taylor Swift, they've got bad blood.
