Jay Cutler

[fhrblig]

Okay, I never expected to post anything defending Jay Cutler ever, after the way he left the Broncos. (I can totally understand being upset finding out the new coach almost traded you, but not talking to the owner of the team when he calls you to try to sort it out is not acceptable. It's a business, stop acting like a two-year-old.)

All this crap about him not being tough enough because he left the game with a legit knee injury is maddening. I saw him that last series he was in and he was not moving well. When he is not 100%, he makes mistakes. BAD ones. If you can't go, you can't go. I used to like Maurice Jones-Drew before he wrote that tweet about how he played all season with a bad knee. Really? Good for you. Did you make it to the Super Bowl? No? Maybe you should have gotten treatment, then. I truly hope you enjoy not being able to climb a flight of stairs when you're 40. When you can't get out of bed without someone to help you, don't come crying to me.

I saw another comment from someone saying that "Philip Rivers must be laughing his ass off right now." Yeah. From his couch, where he ALWAYS WATCHES THE PLAYOFFS. ALWAYS.

I can understand why players and former players who are criticizing him are coming from.

I can also understand his teammates defending him in public.

Clay Mathews comment about them making Cutler quit ain't helping.

Cutler is a gamer. However, he has that I don't care look on his face. He needs to be fiery ala Jeff Garcia (Only Eagles fan will get this joke ).

Bob - When he was in Denver, did he ever checked out on any of the games that you can remember?

Cutler seems to have reputation from the media for being aloof and disinterested. This is what's feeding the feeding frenzy. I've seen and heard some of his interviews that he gets heat over. I can't say I'd act much different in a similar situations such as fielding stupid questions from the local and national reporters. I don't know if that says something about Cutler or something about me.

Honestlly? I can't remember one. I can remember plenty where I wished he had. Damn, those red zone interceptions were terrible.

I think it's kind of simple really, if his knee was REALLY THAT BAD, why was he walking around the entire second half in 10 degree temps?

You are correct sir, I think he checked out even though he had an injury he checked out mentally. Oh well, they lost just the same.

From what I heard, it was the team doctors who ordered that he not play anymore. Not sure if Cutler contested it though. I would imagine playing QB effectively is a lot more difficult under these circumstances.

The guy has an MCL sprain right? Didn’t Tom Brady play through a stress fracture in his foot? IMO and only my opinion, things were not going well and it was as good of excuse as any to turn the keys over to someone else. I think a gamer would have had to be pulled off the field kicking and screaming.

Even if his pain threshold is as weak as his chin, the guy could have been up watching the game, giving input to the guy that replaces him and other offensive players. He could have tried to help his team in any way possible.

My views are biased, as I do not like Jay Cutler. I do not like him throwing fits, I do not like him when he quits. I don’t like Jay Cutler, Sam-I-Am.


Let me add, I don't know why a team doctor would order him not to play. Though painful, playing on a sprained MCL isn't going to hold you out... People play with sprained MCL's all the time....not uncommon.

i think ben is still playing with a broken foot, palamalu's Achilles still isn't healed, and i'll be shocked if pouncy doesn't play with a high ankle sprain.

as for cutler, you act like an asshole you get treated like an asshole

Just saw where Philip Rivers said "I'd have to be taken off on a cart'. What, from your couch? 'Cause during the playoffs, that's where you are.

Whoa, trash talkin' after a Divisional Championship loss!

By the way, Drew Brees played the second half of the season with a sprained MCL.

Yes, and Drew Brees is defending Cutler.

Uhh, you realize he played two playoff games with a torn ACL, right?

I'm not questioning Philip Rivers' toughness, I question his ability to win in the playoffs. Actually, I don't question it, I can see with my own eyes that he can't. AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Didn't you say he always watches the playoffs from his couch? He did win 3 playoff games you know.

How many rings does he have? Besides the ring in his bathtub?

I do credit Rivers for one thing. Out of the Broncos' division rivalries, the Chargers one always seemed to me to be the weakest. I mean, we hate the Raiders (HATE them), and hate the Chiefs, but with the Chargers it was kind of like 'who cares'? Maybe it's just because for a long time they were kinda up and down as far as success on the field. As soon as Rivers came, and he and Jay Cutler had their little spat, it was a heckuva lot more fun and made the games must-watch, that's for sure. And even with Jay gone, the rivalry seems much stronger.

11 guys on the team, it's not all the QB, win or lose.

Fair enough. I still think he's a colossal douchebag, though. I won't lie, every time I see them lose in the playoffs, and I see that pouty scowl on his face it makes me giggle.

That dude had game, and scared the crap outta me. I told my wife, the worst thing for the Packers is to take Cutler out, all we needed was some young buck with something to prove. Hanie is that young buck.
