Not to imply legitimacy to this media craziness, but I'm curious to see how Cutler will respond to it next season.

 

I hope he doenst speak to another national media member. I'd tell them all to [expletive] off

 

I wish he could do that, but I believe that's where the rules compel a player to speak with them.

If more than half the current NFL QB's were taking snaps for the Bears this season, we'd have delivered their eulogies from the abuse that they would have withstood from the holes in our offensive line.

 

Cutler didn't slide like many of the QB's who take off up the field. He puts his shoulder down, he leaves his feet, he dives head first. He gets sacked and he gets back up and goes back to the huddle, maybe a bit deflated, but never defeated.

 

And occasionally he makes a bad throw that a defender drops or maybe the defender actually catches. As Angelo said, he's not perfect. But, to question his toughness is lame.

 

It was the Bear coaching staff that took him out of the Giants game. Most QB's never would have lasted as long as Cutler lasted in that game. He took every shot they could give him and finally one was enough to force him to miss some games.

 

Ignoring that the coaching staff took him out for just a moment. What can any reasonable person think Cutler could have done for the Bears on one leg? Probably more than Collins, I'll give you that. If the Bears had any chance to win that game on Sunday, Caleb Hanie was going to have to be the guy to get it done. The same defense that knocked Cutler out of the game were all still in there to offer up even more abuse to an immobile QB who can't plant his foot to throw. Not sure if anyone was watching the 4th quarter, but the Packers were only sending 3 guys after Hanie in the backfield, and Hanie was pressured by those 3 guys on just about every play, and there was nothing wrong with Hanie's legs. Our line couldn't fend off a 3 man pass rush. How the heck was Cutler going to avoid the sacks?

 

As much as I love Cutler, he wasn't accurate with his throws before he got hit. He was off the mark on just about every throw. I personally wonder how different things might have been if Collins never enters the game and Hanie got those extra few series of downs to get a little more rhythm.

On top of plays like that, he played the entire 2007 season with Type 1 Diabetes without knowing or complaining about it. I'm not of the opinion that I could objectively name ONE QB out there that's TOUGHER than Jay.

 

 

I hate meatballs.

 

 

I will say this though: I actually listened to one of Florio's bits on how this was handled and I agree with what he said. From now on, the Bears PR department should have a better way of handling this type of situation. Maybe you don't bring him back out after halftime? Leave him in the back? I don't know what the answer is personally, but I'd like to think that maybe there was at least a way to curtail SOME of this crap, not all of it, but at least some.......

How did him trying to play through his injury during the first series of the 2nd half hurt his perception of being tough? They said on the radio that Cutler limped into the tunnel before the half was over, so it was known he was hurt. At the game, I saw him go out for that first series and immediately thought it was awesome that he was gonna keep playing, because I heard leg injury and assumed he did something to his knee or ankle. When he didn't come back in, I immedately assumed that he must have been really hurt if he couldnt go after that first series. Plus the pass he made was pretty obvious that something was wrong.

And all this testimony is important why?

 

Because the Chicago Bears still don't have a quarterback worthy of the defense, worthy of the special teams, worthy of the effort put forth by the team in almost every other area. And that's the reason the Packers are going back to the Super Bowl instead of the Bears, because Aaron Rodgers is all the things Cutler is not, from preparation to performance

 

Are you flipping high? Aaron Rodgers had a QB rating in the 50's yesterday and was fairly ineffective after the first quarter. How the hell is he the reason the Packers advanced past the Bears in the NFC title game, which is where Cutler led his team?

personally, i don't care how this was handled. i hope he comes back out next year and torches everyone behind a line that has some continuity and a receiver taller than 6-1. it won't matter what he did if he does that.

 

i want the Wildcat next year against Philadelphia so Cutler can throw a low block on Samuels a55 and end his career

 

 

there, I said it

He's the guy who has said for a few years that if he had to win one game he wants Big Ben because he's a winner and finds ways to get it done.

I don't think that's completely outlandish. He's surely said dumber things than that.

Jones-Drew is trying to back out of his comments claiming it was intended as a joke at the expense of Florida not Jay. Ok.

Also what the hell is it about Bears QBs? Grossman and Cutler together have garnered the most unwarranted hate I have ever seen in my life. Just pathetic.

 

When Chicago sports fans - or any city's sports fans, really, I suppose it's unfair to single out our fair city - get an idea in their head, it's a futile and almost Sisyphean task to try and convince them otherwise. I'm sure you can name all the players that I can who were unfairly be hit with an reputation unwarranted at least to some degree. Grossman. Prior. Cutler. Sosa. The list goes on.

 

Perception becomes reality all too easy, particularly when you've got an entire city looking to funnel their pain into anger at someone and you've got meatheads like Dilfer and Schlereth and other NFL players and whoever else in the national media wanted attention yesterday and today all spouting off. I had someone tell me today "I've played pro hockey, and I've had 12 surgeries. Cutler was hurt; he was not injured. He's a loser and they need to cut bait with him immediately."

From now on, the Bears PR department should have a better way of handling this type of situation.

 

Does anyone really think some PR flack is going to control what the coaches and player do during the middle of a game?
