Maurice Jones-Drew

I remember MJD Missing crucial games down the stretch that at the end of a season that could have gotten them into the playoffs.... because of a Knee Injury!

So easy to talk when it's not you.

I didn't understand why he was out, personally.

That said, I can't reply to these players' tweets as I don't and have never played on an NFL team. But reason would lead one to believe that a Coach makes the call on who plays the downs, not the player... not everyone is Brett Favre, you know.

Ignore previous post.

Urlacher stood up for Cutler, case closed IMO.

Jay was hurt. I don't question his toughness. He's tough as hell. He's one of the toughest guys on our football team.
from http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=6051718

It's clear they went to Hanie because he was better able to avoid the pressure though...

If I just tore a ligament in my leg....I wouldn't be standing, anywhere, for any reason. Thats what gets me...

Also from the article, his center, referencing Cutler's leg:

"I didn't even think he was going to finish the half," Kreutz said. "When he came back to try it again, that amazed me. It was shaking right after he took the hit and walked back in the huddle. It was swinging like this [waving his hand back and forth].

"So I knew one of his ligaments probably went. I can't remember exactly what play it was. I know it was the second quarter. I remember him walking in the huddle, and I saw it shaking like this. I said, 'Ah, man.'"

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
