The NFL season hasn't even kicked off and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is already being criticized.

But it wasn't a member of the media taking a cheap shot at the mercurial QB. Nope, it was a former teammate and his brother who took aim at the 10-year vet.

Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett, who played with Cutler from 2013-15, said, "I'd be open and he'd throw into double coverage." Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett was much harsher, calling Cutler, the "worst quarterback in the NFL."

So, Cutler took the passive-aggressive approach in responding to the Bennett brothers.

Cutler when asked why Marshall & Bennett keep talking about him: "I could say something clever and smart, but I'll just pass." #Bears
