New England respected him as a player, and he in turn respected them as an organization. Once that happens, everything else kinda takes care of itself.

I don't know... I think part of it was maturing with age. Moss was great in MIN and then when he found himself in OAK, I think he realized that (a) that sucked and (b) he needed to get his head right. NE needed to improve their WRs, so they went for Welker and Moss... Moss definitely saw his chance at winning a SB and reviving his career.
Suggesting that Marshall would all of a sudden be a good guy with a new team is kinda pointless, he's had issues his entire career. Marshall was on top of the world with Shanahan and Cutler feeding him the ball, they were wise to do it... but, in the NFL things change and rather than pout, he should focus on kicking ass and getting out via FA next year with a fat new contract.
But, no... he would rather morph into the a-hole role and try to do what Cutler did to get out. I don't hear any bad things from the NE guys that worked with McD... sure, he's handled some things wrong and got off on the wrong foot, but his system is one that should be a dream for a guy like Marshall even if he's with Orton and not Cutler. Cassel proved that an uknown could come in and rock in that system.
Everyone will soon know if Cassel can come close to repeating his success in KC... Marshall needs to get over the loss of Cutler, but it's likely too late because he has no idea how to act within the team environment.
So, barring a trade that gets Denver the value they need - I'm fine with sitting him on the bench and dealing with him in that manner.
