New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall, in response to a question on Twitter, said that Kyle Orton is the best quarterback he ever played with.

Marshall has played with the Broncos, Dolphins and Bears so far in his nine-year career and has rotated through 13 different quarterbacks in that time.

The full list: Jake Plummer, Jay Cutler (twice), Patrick Ramsey, Kyle Orton, Chris Simms, Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen, Chad Pennington, Matt Moore, J.P. Losman, Jason Campbell, Josh McCown and Jimmy Clausen.

Among that group, Orton ranks fourth in completion percentage (59.5), fifth in yards per attempt (6.7), seventh in touchdown percentage (3.7), second in interception percentage (2.5) and fourth in passer rating (81.2).

Ranking each of the 13 passers in each of those categories for a combined score, Orton ties for third with Jason Campbell. It's admittedly an unscientific way to measure this kind of thing, but the two guys ahead of them -- Pennington and Cutler -- do seem like they were pretty clearly better than Orton throughout most of their respective careers.

Either way, Marshall hasn't exactly played with the greatest passers of all time. But he has Geno Smith now, so ... well, he still won't have played with that many great quarterbacks.
