Marshall has received counseling five different times, sometimes by NFL order. But all they really led to was more frustration.

"Count to 10! What's that going to do?" Marshall says. "I'm still angry when I'm finished."

Tick … tick … tick

Four years of therapy never helped Marshall gain a better understanding of his issues or how to deal with them. Until now.

After three months of treatment and therapy, psychological and neurological exams at Boston's McLean Hospital, the training ground for Harvard University medical students, Marshall believes he's finally at the root of his struggles.

He has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, or BPD.

"BPD is a well understood psychological disorder. It's not a form of misbehavior," said Mary Zanarini, a professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, who treated Marshall this summer.

BPD is a mental illness that studies say is more common than schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but is rarely diagnosed because of misperceptions in the mental health community, and the challenges of providing a proper treatment plan.

The disorder is marked by difficulties with relationships and self-image and controlling moods and emotions.

Explains a great deal of his behavior actually... I hope he can get treatment.

I'm no doctor.

But I could tell something wasn't quite right when he was in Denver.

I remember a clip in particular where he was refusing to participate and slapping away passes thrown at him.

He generally has a good attitude and I was wondering what in the world made him act that way.

I am glad he is getting some help, I am really feeling for him!

      Hornets actually have good young talent, but they just can't play good team ball.   Lee doesn't look like a good hire at HC so far.

      Apparently it did no good. Getting spanked by the Wizards…again!

      I'd be looking at mid to late round QBs every single draft simply because the potential ROI is so high. Hell, even if I have an entrenched starter and backup that wouldn't change the equation. Hit on one and I'd trade my entrenched backup to a desperate team and now I have a quality backup in a rookie contract to protect cap space and a potential asset to trade down the road or hell even develop into a starter if my starter is aging or has a career detailing injury or maybe the young guy simply proves to be better at some point. Once you get the the 4th or 5th round you're basically throwing darts at the board hoping to hit on something at that point. Most of those guys will prove to not be long for the league anyway.  I'm not saying reach on a guy just because he's a QB but if I have similarly rated prospects on the board and we're talking about a FB, a blocking TE, and a  OG with limited upside, well that's a no brainer to me. Roll the dice on the QB.
