Sperm Edwards Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (didn't see this posted) http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25317400/brandon-marshall-miffed-no-one-sees-him-as-nfls-best-receiver Brandon Marshall miffed no one sees him as NFL's best receiver By Will Brinson | NFL Writer September 26, 2015 1:40 pm ET Motivation comes from many different places, especially for professional athletes. Being doubted is one of those sources. Just ask Brandon Marshall, who thinks people question him as a top wide receiver. The Jets wideout appeared on Stephen A. Smith's SiriusXM show Friday (via Pro Football Talk) and said it "pisses me off" when he's not recognized as potentially being the best wideout in the game. "I definitely think I'm one of the best out there," Marshall said. "I take pride in my work. I don't look at it as, my approach is not one of I'm going out there to be the best wide receiver and run great routes, I look at it as my life's work. Football doesn't define me, but it's a part of a bigger picture. And it's my craft, it's art to me. And when I go out there I just try my best to not only be the No. 1 receiver on my team, but being the No. 1 receiver in the league. "And to be totally honest and transparent, it pisses me off that no one recognizes that. And it's OK because all you can do is put your head down and work, and when you get your opportunities it will happen." Marshall is a great receiver. He was an underrated addition to the Jets receiving corps this offseason after a down/injured year with the Bears last season. But he's not a top-five wideout in terms of receiving yards right now and he hasn't been a top-five wideout in terms of receiving yards since 2012. If there's a debate about the best wideouts in the game, the discussion starts with Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham, Jr., Calvin Johnson (still, yes), Dez Bryant andDemaryius Thomas. Marshall's right there among the best receivers in the game but he's not the best. Which is probably what he wants to hear, since now he'll be properly motivated. B-Marsh thinks he's the best wideout in the NFL. (USATSI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljr Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Rx'ing yards do not define what he has meant for this team. if he plays the next 14 games like he played weeks 1&2 he will be top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I do. I really do. 14 more games like the other 2 and nothing to discuss here. See the force Brandon. Use the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Brandon Marshall is without a doubt a top 10 receiver in the NFL and anybody that doesn't see that is just in denial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm miffed nobody thinks of me as a top receiver in the NFL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallinPB Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hes not the top receiver in the game but that has more to do with his QB then his ability. Personally i think AJ Green would be the topWR if he played with a QB better than Dalton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I don't know about you guys but I'm just glad his football priorities are in order. It would be one thing if he would be "miffed" at people not thinking the Jets are good as a team. This is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 He is one of the best WR in the game. A poor game or a stupid play don't change that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 He is one of the best WR in the game. A poor game or a stupid play don't change that... Those were two really bad plays though... Agreed, he's a beast...but that lateral was one of the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a football field and bad QB and all (and yes - it's partially the QB play) you still can't let that ball through your hands. With that said, I do completely agree - he's still one of the best receivers in football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Top 30, maybe. Best in NFL? Lol, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexorcism Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 He had a bad game, maybe he should be concentrating on footbal instead of whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Love folks knocking Marshall.. They seem to yearn for the days of Chaz, Mason, Plex and all the other guys that we have had at the skill positions that shouldn't have been on an NFL roster.... Wow....
