Cutler getting ripped apart by NFL players

[Mr. Scot]

I think the reaction has been a tad silly, especially if the doctors told him not to go. But then, fan overreaction isn't exactly a new, unique thing.

With that said, I expect a fair amount of reaction to the MRI results from both Bear Nation and the players once they're announced.

If they find a legitimate injury, Cutler will be owed a man-sized apology from a lot of people, especially his peers.

If the results are negative, what's been said so far won't be half as savage as what gets said next.

The MRI will be positive even if they arent. Honestly I think more blame needs to be put on Lovie. I think Cutler wanted back out there and was showing that he could play by standing on the sideline. But no one knows exactly went on expect those on the sidelines.

[Epistaxis]

fan reaction is typical

This was the NFCCG, against a hated rival.

fans expect guys to crawl back on the field bleeding from their eyes before hanging it up.

That is NOT reality with a QB.

The more interesting part of this situation is the broken code of conduct by current and former players.

A head scratcher, but it makes me think he is very unpopular, likely because of his "whatever" attitude.

You can't question his toughness. Really, you can't if you have paid ANY attention to Bear games this year. I have never seen beatings like he took, and he just kept getting back up.

[Murph]

Not sure why Bears fans are so pissed about this. Its not like Jay was doing much anyway. At least Caleb got the offense alive and made a game of it.

Yeah, some might say Jay wouldn't have thrown those interceptions but Caleb had the GB D on their heels...Jay didn't.

Once GB fans come back to earth they should have a beef with the coaches and the players about their 4th quarter defense effort and game planning. WTF? Chicago's OL has improved over the season but it is still not elite and why they didn't blitz Caleb like hell I just don't get it.

I have had knee injuries as well as hamstring injuries where I could stand or even jog in straight line but any other sort of movement would result in the knee just giving out. there are lots of scenarios where he could stand but be unable to play.

If i were him i would hold a press conference after his MRI and start calling out people. Especially that idiot Deion Sanders

[Epistaxis]

No question about it, knee injuries are tricky bastages.

As you state, even ripped to shreds some of them result in the ability to walk but not rotate them.

Anyway, we'll see, but my peeps say he has significant damage to the knee.

Wonder what Phil Reevers is saying about his boy Cutler today...

[Peppers90 NC]

sometimes an injured player hurts a team. he would have been a sitting duck throwing lame ducks if he has a torn acl/mcl.

[KillerKat]

Jay Cutler has a MCL tear in his left knee, according to beat writer Sean Jensen.

The Bears are apparently still determining the grade of his tear. MCL injuries are not nearly as severe as ACL tears, but can still limit mobility and a quarterback's ability to plant his foot. Still, if the injury does not require surgery, Cutler is going to be even more vilified than he already is. Cutler will be hard-pressed to escape a suddenly "soft" reputation.

I think everyone should be more concerned with how much Cutler has Jake Delhomme syndrome than the injury. He obviously was doing terrible before he got hurt, and the score may have been way worse had Hanie not came in and got some scores.

if this was a black qb that left the game with a similar scenario going on, no NFL players would say anything. if it's a white qb, nobody can shut up about it.
