Amen. Those where the worst years of my life having to watch him play here. To say he got a raw deal or was a scapegoat is off the mark. He screwed us with shitty play.

Cutler: Grade II MCL tear

Final Cutler injury update: Grade II MCL tear | ProFootballTalk

Now I can say what I have held back until now: all of those who ripped Cutler for not playing, whether they are Bears fans or not, should be ashamed. It is not right to hate on someone like that without knowing the facts.

Regardless of the injury, his demeanor could have been a bit more encouraging to his teammates on the sidelines yesterday. I get that he was frustrated, but that's as good a time as any to rally beside your teammates, particularly the 3rd string QB trying to get you to the Super Bowl

Yeah but that his been MO his entire career...when it comes to body language dude just does the wrong things as well... Immaturity is one of those "intangibles" you get with Cutler as well, you sign up with that when you make that trade

Cutler had ample oppurtunity to quit much earlier in the season as well. Even though I DO feel a little skeptical, if the he couldn't physically plant his foot or drop back without being significantly hindered and thus become a liability to his team, so be it.

How do you guys know what he's doing on the sidelines? You see what 10 secs of Jay Cutler footage on the TV and assume he's doing that the whole game. You guys are worse than the media and Chico you are spewing up talking points from idiot media pundits. Body language? As a person who's studied body language, I can assure you that 99% of the people out there have 0 clue as to being able to read body language on a whole. The problem is the guy doesn't give a shit about the media (much like Barry Bonds), and he gets crucified in the process. Purely sickening.

Also, to have a guy like Deon Sanders question heart or toughness is beyond laughable. This is a jackass that didn't tackle and told others he was paid to break up passes, not tackle. Guy is a complete asshat and probably should shut the **** up.

Actually what I was trying to say is his demeanor, body language is just who he is and like Matty commented, its very well documented. My point was that how he carries himself should not be confused with his toughness in this situation. Sure I agree the media has 100% has gone overboard with this story, but that really nothing new...question is does Brady, Big Ben, Farve, Peyton stay out of the same game, same injury?

I agree with that. Unfortunately that is Cutler being Cutler.

But that criticism is not the same as the "Cutler is a pussy" venom that has been passed around. That is really unfair.

By the way I am not a Cutler lover. But the guy got a raw deal and, given the typical responses of hateful people, that raw deal will stick with him.

Agreed. I don't ? his toughness. He played a whole year with diabetes and he never knew it and on top of that, the injuries that come with the pounding he took. He is a tough ****er like every NFL player.
