I think people are blowing this out of proportion. He sprained his MCL, and if I were him, I would sit out too if the doctors told me too. Also, if this were to happen to Tom Brady, people would say, "This was the right move to protect their franchise QB." Everyone just attacks Cutler because he sucks so bad. He probably wouldn't have made an impact even if he did stay in the game.

He's one of the last people in the world that should comment on this situation.

Well MJD did play hurt all year He also sat out the final 2 games of the year, with his team in playoff contention. Cutler has a grade II MCL sprain (a tear) which can keep an average players out up to 5 maybe 6 weeks. MJD saying he "quit" is ironic.

none of our opinions matter in situations like this because none of us have the talent to be professional athletes. until youve been on the field with guys who are 300 lbs and run like they weigh 150 that hit like freight trains, keep your mouths shut. football does a good job of separating the men from the boys and the fact that Jay Cutler made it all the way to the league says a TON about what kind of man he is already

Everybody hold off on the opinions for the rest of your lives or until you become a professional athlete, whichever comes first.

Look, I havent't read through the couple pages here, so i dunno if peoples opinions have changed or not, but the man had a torn mcl.
From the interviews I have seen, you can tell he wanted to get back in the game. The training staff and Lovie straight up told him no...Lovie even said HIMSELF that he told him that he wasn't going back in. I'm kind of sick of people here bashing him to hell for it. Had it been Brady, Manning, Brees, or anyone else like that, this wouldn't even be a story.
As far as people saying that he looked like he didn't give a s*** on the sidelines, thats just his nature. They could have won the game, and he probably would have still had the same look on his face. The guy never shows emotion, and always looks like he could care less. Its just in his system.
But now when its something negative, its looked at as a bad thing. Like Urlacher said, he never complained when he was getting sacked nearly every play for the first nine weeks, he is a tough s.o.b and I think that was evident throughout the season.
Even when the reporter told him what other players in the league were saying about him, you can see him choke up and get real emotional about it. I dont think he would start to get emotional about that if he didnt give a s***.
MJD can go to hell too. Where were you for the last two games of the season when your team was making a playoff push? Oh yeah thats right, on the bench with a knee injury. Pot please meet kettle.
People are something else sometimes..

Sooo....unless you are a politician, you can't have an opinion about politics? Unless you are a musician you can't have an opinion about music? Right...

Right... lol...the small mindedness on the internet is ridiculous sometimes. football is a whole nother beast. its takes A LOT to become a pro football player, particularly when it comes to one's toughness. Cutler has crawled his way there all the way from high school, he probly played pee wees as well. then he gets there, makes it all the way to the damn conference championships, gets hurt, sits out, and now a bunch of couch potatoes like yall question his manhood like youll ever know what it took to even get there. STFU, sit on your couch, and leave the ball playing to the ball players

My post was meant to be sarcasm of the driest type... clearly I failed. To me, the whole "don't criticize actors/musicians/athletes/politicians because you can't do what they do" is the lamest BS I can imagine.

I had a 40 minute conversation last night with my brother about football players who have been hurt, and still found a way to play.
If the team and coaches took him out, then that is that. HOWEVER, the least he could have done is looked like he actually gave a **** about what was going on.
Peyton has the Manning Face. Cutler officially has the Cutler face, and that's all he had all game. Never upset or sad or excited. Just Jay. If I'm one game away from the Super Bowl, and I have to come out because of an injury...
A. I'd atleast look sad, because of how upset I'd be.
B. I'd try to cheer on the rest of my team, since we aren't "out of the game" yet.

I'd try to cheer on the rest of my team, since we aren't "out of the game" yet. Yeah but what people don't understand is that he has that face on for everything, no matter what the situation is. Its just his nature, in his blood. Someone posted the picture of when he was traded over, and during the press conference, he had the same damn face on. Thats just his style. Maybe others would be emotional about that type of thing, but he's just not, and thats it. Everyone shouldnt be getting down on the guy simply because he has a certain look on his face. And when he choked up about other people questioning his toughness, I think that shows that he's passionate about the game. You can get down on the guy for some of the dumbass decisions he makes on the field, but to really get down on his toughness when he was sacked 30 some odd times during the season doesnt really make much sense to me.

And 35 in his first Bears season. The Bears' offensive line sucks, and Cutler's paying the price for it.

It isn't a "face," I'm pretty sure it's some kind of palsy.

I like Jay Cutler, however I do wish he would have tried to re enter that game.
