Yahoo Sports's NFL page headline: "Move over, Bartman"
Wait I'm not quite getting this...
Why is Cutler so hated?
If he has only a minor sprain, then his reputation will never recover.
How is this eluding people?
The man left the NFC championship game, at home, against a hated rival. One of the biggest games in the history of the franchise. He wasn't carted off the field. He wasn't on crutches. He was seen riding the stationary bicycle. Many people think he should have manned up and continued to play.
Wait, he's the one defending Cutler.Cmon now, quit trying to make a scapegoat out of Cutler.
Are you a doctor? Did you examine Jay Cutler after his injury? Are you Jay Cutler? Do you know how much pain he was in? Do you know if he was able to run? Do you know how it felt?
Manned up and continued to play. Easy for everyone else to say. All the fans, sitting on their sofa in their nice cozy warm homes.
Those players are tough as nails. When they go down, it's something more serious than a little boo-boo. They take abusive punishment on the field, and you don't even see them wince or shiver from the wind-chilled 8 degree weather. Which, by the way, will absolutely make your leg lock up if there is any sort of inflamation around the knee.
This is ridiculous. Anyways, Hanie did a great job, not as though Cutler would've done much better.

I hear that the title of Christopher Nolan's next film is The Cutler Rises.
That's my quarterback.
Disappointing shit, today. And a very bizarre situation with Cutler.
Now, here's the thing.
It's quite simple, really.
Personally, I'm going to stand by the guy. And defend him. And cheer for him. He's the most talented QB the franchise has ever had. He had a good year, got us to the conference title game behind a mediocre O-line and with a mediocre receiving corps. Very unfortunate what happened today, but I'm going to put that behind me and move forward.
As for the majority of Chicago fans, though? It's simple.
Jay Cutler: Go win a Super Bowl or else you go down as the biggest goat in the history of the city. Steve Bartman, you're off the hook.
Win a Super Bowl. This is it. Jay, if you don't win a Super Bowl before your contract is up, you are completely fucked and are public enemy #1 in one of the biggest sports cities in the world. He won't be able to show his face. He won't be able to buy a pack of smokes. He won't be able to walk down the street. Cutler can never live this down, unless we soon see a picture of him smiling and holding the Lombardi trophy.
Do I think he can win a Super Bowl? Absofuckinglutely. The Bears will be in position for another playoff run next year. Matt Forte, Devin Hester, and that defense aren't going anywhere.
He just makes himself such an easy target, which is frustrating. His demeanor is open for ridicule. He's a smart guy, and is perfectly aware that standing on the sidelines during the second half of the NFC title game is only going to add fuel to the fire. He knows that he's not the most liked guy in the sporting world, already. And then he goes and does this shit today.
Vexing, for certain. I am vexed. Confused. And half drunk on caffeine.
But he's going to get a chance to bounce back from this. Go win the big one. And I pray he does. Shut everybody else up. And shut me up.

Headache in a Suitcase said:Cutler is soft.
cobl04 said:Probably the worst tag a sportsman can have hanging over their head, no?
What that guy said.
Jay cutler is a giant vag.
Of course the players on the post game shows came to his defense over the injury... you don't throw anyone under the bus if they say they have an injury. Doesn't mean you don't feel that way personally, you just don't say it unless you know full well that he wasn't hurt.
That's our job.
Say what you will about favre and rothlisberger. Sure, they like showing their junk to people who don't ask. But the only way they come out of a game is on a stretcher.
Cutler is soft.
And I'm gonna redirect you to my post.
Easy for you to speak. You're not Jay Cutler.

* Jaguars linebacker Kirk Morrison wrote, “Jay Cutler better go put some Tussin on that knee and get back out there.”
* Deion Sanders wrote, “Im telling u in the playoffs u must drag me off the field. All the medicine in pro lockerooms this dude comes out! I apologize bear fans! . . . Folks i never question a players injury but i do question a players heart.
Even one of Cutler’s fellow quarterbacks, Oakland’s Bruce Gradkowski, got in on the action, writing that he once played with two torn MCLs and adding, “Is cutler still ur starter next year? Did the players give up on him?”
