NFL: Cutler tears MCL

While he was ripped for not playing while injured (particularly being compared to Philip Rivers that one year he tore his ACL), I think the bigger thing he was being ripped for was his apparent disinterested attitude on the sidelines. The guy was walking up and down the sidelines (as if he wasn't injured), apparently not vocally supporting his teammates. Perhaps he is "that" injured and deserves an apology. But for the most part Cutler has made his own bed and has this reputation for a reason.

Too bad for him, laughing even harder now at the "fans" that called him a sissy and blamed the loss on him.

I most definitely do not pin the loss on Cutler. He was horrible while he was playing healthy in the first half. I pin the loss more on the offense as a whole and the horrible play calling/coaching by Martz.

However, Cutler dint show much character by just standing around and watching. I didn't see one time where he talked to/helped/offered pointers to Collins/Hanie like any other starting QB in the NFL would have done in any game, let alone the NFC Championship.

I know, right? I mean, Fox had the "Cutler cam" running that showed him the entire game - and followed him into the lockerroom at halftime. With Cutler being on TV 100% of the broadcast, no way he could have every said anything to Collins, Hanie or another teammate.
 
So do people really think that he was disinterested from first hand knowledge, or just what the guy who directed the telecast wanted you to see. From a stand point of what makes interesting TV, I would only show Cutler when he is sitting or not talking. He is already a villain, if he was supporting his teammates what good does it do you until the bears are winning. Until then the announcers can build around the story that cutler is giving up.

Just a thought that I had.

I have never once witnessed a game on TV where and injured QB is standing on the sideline looking as uninterested as Cutler did yesterday. I cant recall a time where an injured QB was not shown once helping out his backups.

You're right, maybe Fox painted that picture and didn't show him when he was helping them, but the chances that it didn't happen are much greater, and if you think otherwise than you dont pay attention much...
 
I don't like the guy that much either but they did show him a couple times and he was sitting next to hainey(sp?) and they were looking at the previous plays and one time he was cheering on the D.. fwiw.. but really I didn't care sense I'm a packers fan..
 
The whole team was disinterested in the first half. The Defense woke up and played great in the second.

Cutler was hurt and ineffective, and would have kept playing. Lovie pulled him for Collins which is madness. Todd Collins shouldn't even be on the roster. He is terrible. Hanie should have been the #2 QB and the Bears maybe could have gotten things going.

Once again, Martz fell back into passing too much. The play calling for Hanie was not good. Why not roll him out and allow him to beat GB with his feet? He was effective on short passes, but on the last play he is called to throw it into the middle. Not smart.

I hated losing to GB, but without a healthy Cutler we would have zero chance against the Steelers. GB will make it a game at least.

If that did happen than I retract what I said. However, I dont recall seeing that, at all.
 
Hanie said this morning that Cutler talked to him before he went out and after he threw the TD. People are ignorant to the way Cutler is. Just because he is not out spoken and doesn't get excited like other people he is so bad. You can't change a person personality when he has been this way all his life. Unfortunate thing is he plays QB and spot light is on him all the time. If he is reserved then let him be. No one knows what he is like in the huddle or practice. From all accounts his team mates are very pleased with him.
