Bears fans know Brandon Marshall would often find himself in a talkative mood and answers followers’ questions on Twitter, and that apparently hasn’t changed even though the wide receiver was traded to the New York Jets. Marshall responded to several inquiring tweets on Wednesday, even ones about his time in Chicago.
Best teammate you ever played with? @BMarshall

For example, Brian Urlacher, Matt Forte and Israel Idonije have made the short list of Marshall’s favorite teammates so far in his nine-year career. Despite being linked with Jay Cutler for six seasons (between Denver and Chicago) and being Cutler’s most frequent target for four of those seasons, Marshall didn’t mention the Bears quarterback.
And mind you, Marshall’s list includes former Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington and former Broncos backup Chris Simms, who completed just 5 of 17 passes in their one season together in Denver in 2009. Only Marshall knows what his criteria for “best teammate” is.
He did field another question about specifically about Cutler.
@BMarshall did you honestly think Cutler was going to be an MVP?

Marshall also said he misses Chicago-style pizza (of course, that set off the obligatory pizza rebuttal from a few New York fans.
@BMarshall man I thought I'd be watching you and Alshon for years, anything you wish you would have done differently ?
