Sodboy13 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sprains are tears. Why not call it a tear?To justify the media's bashing of Cutler?Pretty much. Just calling it a sprain was a big whoopsie. You say it's a torn ligament, and Joe Meatball knows it's bad. You say it's a sprain, and Joe Meatball thinks about the time he rolled his ankle during backyard Wiffleball when he was 9. He then doesn't listen to anything else, knowing he was right about this no-good pantywaist the whole time, he goes to nflshop.com and drops $100 on a customized " LER" jersey, which he then sets on fire.My wife had a Grade 3 sprain on her ankle this past summer. It was agonizing for her, and the doctor said she would have actually been better off breaking it. But without those sorts of details, the football fan brain defaults to "sprain = minor," and makes incorrect conclusions accordingly.steve dahl of disco demolition fame posted on facebook cutler needs a pap smear not a mriI say this as someone who works in Chicago radio: that fat, irrelevant, unemployed, Drew-Peterson-enabling, hasn't-been-funny-since-he-quit-the-sauce piece of . him right in his doughy, smirky face.

Lights Out Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 About this post...Completely unrelated to Jets/Steelers, but I just remembered something. Remember when Jay Cutler called out Philip Rivers for "the way he carries himself on the field"?Well, let's compare:2007 AFC Championship Game - Hobbled by a torn ligament in his knee, Philip Rivers still plays against the 18-0 Patriots. Despite his bad injury and the lack of LT, he still manages to throw for 211 yards against an 17-0 Patriots team that quite frankly, should have absolutely demolished the Chargers. The game was remarkably close (21-12) considering Rivers' injury and how unstoppable the Patriots were that year (until the Super Bowl).2011 NFC Championship Game - A completely healthy Jay Cutler takes the field against the 10-6 wildcard Packers. He lays an egg during the first half, putting up a whopping 80 yards passing and a miserable 31.8 QB rating, and then has a mysterious "knee injury" that requires him to be pulled from the game. Obviously it wasn't too serious as he was shown standing up on the sidelines later in the game. Third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie embarrasses him by almost pulling out the victory for the Bears.Who carries themselves better on the field? I'd say Rivers by a country mile....my foot is now firmly implanted in my mouth, because I was wrong. From the sound of things, Cutler was indeed seriously hurt, too hurt to play. That being said, I can understand Bears fans' frustration at how detached he looked on the sideline, because that did not exactly paint him in a good light.

MDC Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 So, did Cutler tear his MCL running out of the tunnell before the game? If not, what's his excuse for completely sucking before the injury? Before he got hurt, there were a TON of times where he had a wide open receiver and pretty much threw the ball into the fourth row. The MCL tear explains why he left, and shows that he didn't just pull a Colt McCoy, which is what I thought was happening. But it still doesn't excuse him from playing like a backup JV quarterback to that point.Yeah, he was having an embarrassing game, but this is the guy who lead an abysmal set of O-lineman and receivers to the NFC Championship Game. He was the reason they won many of their most important games this year. I had complete confidence in him, no matter how bad his first half was. I do find it interesting that his first half performance is not what's getting criticism, though. ___________Also, Sodboy hit everything on the nose.

rams80 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Todd Collins, Backup Quarterback was a terrible move. Cutler vetoed the signing of Marc Bulger, and then Angelo not only did no better than a guy who was all but retired but then put him ahead of Caleb Hanie, who sucks, but at least doesn't totally suck. What the hell. Bears are dumb.Cutler was afraid a shell-shocked emotionally dead Bulger would take his job.Oh my...

Viper Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Cutler isn't a wuss, just a massive head case and a mediocre-at-best QB who was spoiled in his playoff debut by facing a crappy team with a losing record. When he couldn't get it done in the first half against a team that actually belongs in the postseason, I wouldn't have blamed Lovie for benching him at least for a series or two, with or without the injury.

Can someone explain to me again why Cutler is so awful?Because "The Code" requires you to continue playing while hurt even when that hinders your team's chances of victory. "The Code" is stupid, by the way.Although getting back to the "head case" allegation, a QB with a good self-image of himself probably wouldn't be paranoid about Marc Bulger taking the starting spot from him.

The_Admiral Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 That Bulger thing was a load of crap. A head coach and general manager cannot allow their quarterback--at least not this one--to veto the signing of a backup. The correct response to Cutler saying "I want us all to learn the Martz offense at the same time" is "blow it out your ass, I'm not signing Todd Collins."

To be perfectly honest, I was waiting for someone to make the Favruh connection--because in my opinion, the guy plays almost exactly like the ol' gunslinger. NO kind of fundamentals whatsoever, relying way too much on that missile launcher he calls a right arm which can lead to rushed or errant throws--but hey, he might just be having fun out there...playing the game like it was meant to be played! And not to mention he's doing all while dealing with diabetes. He's tough, I tell ya!(Oh--except that he hasn't really won anything yet, so no one really cares. Does make you wonder, though, if the Bears ever do win a Super Bowl w/ Cutler at the helm.........) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 So, did Cutler tear his MCL running out of the tunnell before the game? If not, what's his excuse for completely sucking before the injury? Before he got hurt, there were a TON of times where he had a wide open receiver and pretty much threw the ball into the fourth row. The MCL tear explains why he left, and shows that he didn't just pull a Colt McCoy, which is what I thought was happening. But it still doesn't excuse him from playing like a backup JV quarterback to that point.Cutler certainly wasn't good in the first half, but in his defense, one of the "overthrows" on a would-be touchdown was because Devin Hester, as Bears receivers have a tendency to do, cut off his route early. As for the full story, one of the Bears' sideline reporters gave it last night. Cutler hurt his knee around the 4 minute mark in the 2nd quarter. Right afterwards we saw Todd Collins warming up. The team docs wanted to sit Cutler a series while they evaluated him, but he went back out for the next series after Briggs' interception. Cutler's pick a few passes later was underthrown, in part because his left knee was torn up and he was throwing off his back foot. Johnny Knox still could have acted like an NFL receiver and made an effort to catch the pass or at least knock it away from the defender, but that ain't how he rolls. Cutler went into the lockerroom right after that pick, before halftime. His knee was evaluated by the docs, who told him he couldn't play on it. Cutler then went back out in the third. After a few short hopped passes, the coaches ruled he couldn't play since he couldn't plant his left leg. For the people criticizing him for standing on the sidelines, there is a difference between standing on the leg and running around/throwing off of it.Although Fox selectively showed Cutler looking like he wasn't paying attention, he talked to both Collins and Hanie during the game, gave them advise on the defense the Packers were playing, and looked over photos with them. He wasn't sitting in the corner pouting the whole game.Cutler was afraid a shell-shocked emotionally dead Bulger would take his job.Oh my...I never heard that Cutler vetoed the Bulger signing. The Bears wanted to sign him, but he was requesting $6 million at the time to be the backup. They decided to go in a different, horrible direction.
