Has Jay Cutler overtaken over the title...
-
Anyone who's torn anything in their knee before, knows that its no joke. He did try to go out there for one more series, and then was benched.
When Hanie was playing well and scoring, Cutler was standing and cheering.
I've torn my ACL and probably my MCL and LCL and the lack of stability in the knee because of these things is huge. Now imagine you are trying to put a lot of lateral pressure on the knee with this kind of tear, while 300 lb linemen are bearing down on you.
Not everyone is Kosar, who played the last half of a game on a broken ankle.

(what would Brett do?)

The fact of whether he was really hurt or not is between him, his knee, the doctors on the team, and his conscience. That said, there is no excuse for his behavior on the sidelines. He was pouting around and generally acting disinterested. That shot they had of poor Hanie looking at coverages sitting next to Cutler while Jay was just staring blankly said a lot about his character IMO. You would think that Cutler might have had some interest in helping Hanie out, but nope, he just sat there like a whining child. If he was a Brown, I would be screaming to ship him straight out of town for that.
We all handle injuries/pain in our own way. I will give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Only he knows what he could and could not do. But, I have seen QB's over the years who as long as they could still stand and walk wouldn't leave the game unless physically restrained. Playing in their conference's championship game would only fuel their desire to help their club win the game. Oh, BTW, what the hell was
he doing listening to his MP3 player while the game was still on?

he was listening to this:
-
I've played with people on my high school team who had MCL tears and played the rest of the season on the injury. Not half of a game but half of a season, a losing season to boot not one where a state title was on the line.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
Fer Christ sake, he could have at least ACTED like his head was still in the game and he wanted to compete....His be-bopping to the Pussycat Dolls on his MP3 was bad form
You ever think that he was so dissapointed about not being able to play. To me it shows how much he cared. The dude tried to play on a torn mcn. Nuff said!

He tore his mcl, give him a break!

I've torn my MCL. It does not hurt when you are not trying to twist or putting a lot of pressure on it. That is why he was standing and walking around just fine.
He could have played, I mean, look at Rivers playing with torn ACL a couple of years ago. That shit is far worse then a torn MCL.
He at least needed to be helping out on the sideline and not out there pouting.

An excellent example of a CYQO (carry your QB offense))

All I am saying is the guy is getting paid millions of dollars a year and a guy I know who started with me on my High School football team had a near complete tear and he played half a season on it. I know a guy who will play on it for free and a guy who will sit down for more than I will make in a life time.

Can someone please point to one time Cutler has ever quit on his team, or missed significant time during the season? Can someone tell me when he stopped playing or didn't do everything he could to win a game?
I don't like the prick. But he hasn't shown he is a quitter.

the dudes got one of the best arms in the league, but some of his throws show that he thinks he's invincible. he does have a snarky attitude but that doesn't make him a loser or quitter. just maybe he wants to play a couple of more years and not risk retiring or calling it short cuz he can't finish a game they weren't going to win.

man, you assholes are being damn ignorant of how serious a torn MCL is. Seriously guys, shutup about "well rivers and so and so played through it yadayada", that's just ridiculous. I've personally torn my MCL during the football season. I BEGGED the coach to go back in, and finally got a chance because frankly it didn't hurt just standing there. However, right when I started up again, the pain from the injury is quite literally the worst pain i've ever experienced in my whole life. you have no idea how much pain he was in. Hell, the bears had a much better chance with him out of that game anyway.
I literally hate Jay Cutler and couldn't agree more that his demeanor was terrible after his injury. He should of been doing everything possible to help his team on the sideline. But to say the man should of gone out there and risked ruining the rest of his NFL career despite having a serious injury is damn Retarded and just ignorant. The doctors wouldn't let him go back in there, period. People said this same shit about Colt McCoy too, do you guys think he was a pussy too? Give me a break.

Yea when he was listening to his MP3 on the sidelines and not helping a rookie QB take on one of best defenses in the league.

i don't know exactly what the injury was, but i remember giving the living hell to ladanian thomlinson for the same thing. just sitting there on the bench with that stupid visor covering his emotions. i also bitched about mccoy calling him weak etc. but i was wrong on both accounts.
i don't hate cutler. how do we as fans know how this guy is as teammate. but ya gotta get up and root for your team. the people in chicago must be ready to run the guy out of town today.

Lovie Smith just said it was a strained MCL in his press conference. I wonder who is telling the truth?
-
He was riding a bike and jogging on the side lines, he should've played, or atleast acted like he wanted to. I guarantee you if they were winning that game his ass would've been in there, he was playing like shit and gave up..Bottom line

You people are ridiculous.

Yep strained MCL.
