Brandon Marshall admits to Josh McCown "chatter"

Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall admits that there was "chatter" when returning Jay Cutler replaced Josh McCown in the lineup.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall has revealed there was "chatter" in the club's locker room when it was announced that Jay Cutler would return to oust Josh McCown at quarterback.

After Cutler went down with an ankle injury, McCown took over as the Bears' starter and led them to a 2-2 record while throwing for 13 touchdowns to just one interception.

"I'm gonna be honest with you, there is a little chatter," Marshall told Fox Sports. "There's a human element side of things in the sporting world.

"You have a QB like Josh McCown playing so hot, not only playing great ball for the Bears, but he's one of the hotter QBs in the NFL.

"He was up there with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, those few weeks he was leading us. So naturally there's going to be a little chatter."

The Bears currently hold the number four seed in the NFC playoffs with a 8-6 record.
