As for Cutler, maybe I'm too protective of him today. But, to me it sucks that some Chicagoans are burning his jersey. The guy played in Minneapolis on concrete and they think he wimped out because of his knee.
I didn't get to see either of the games yesterday, but it sounds as if a lot of people are now eating crow because Cutler actually WAS hurt... too bad.. But my favorite quote was by Maurice Jones-Drew who said "Cutler should invoke the Urban Meyer rule- when the going gets tough... QUIT"

bwaaaa haaaa haaaa

Exactly. Here's an article along those lines that you might find interesting:

I think definitely Wall Street. Just don't do it based on predictions. You have to have a solid, well thought out long term plan with a focus on risk management. I know... easier said than done!

Cutler needs to hire an image consultant. Hurt or not, he has the worst facial expressions and body language in professional football. Hunched shoulders, scowls, the look of indifference, arrogance, .... man, what a mess. I understand his Diabetes issues and his knee but, sheesh, its the NFC championship. The rest of his team was playing their butts off and rallying behind a third-string QB who probably hasn't had a rep in practice since summer camp and Jay looks like he's watching a ballet recital. As much as I hate the Bears, it was painful to watch.

It seems that this whole Cutler thing has turned into a league soap opera. Was he too hurt to play? Did he not show enough emotions for the situation? I don't know. All I can go by is that past, and from that it seems that he is a pretty unemotional guy at times-- good and bad.

He played a half against the Giants earlier this year which I can say was the worst half of football I have ever seen. He got knocked out of the game by halftime with a concussion when I'm sure he was "knocked out" in the first quarter. He should have laid into his line, because they gave him no protection, but he didn't.

Either way, he was the quarterback of what I counted to be a 7-9 team to the NFC championship, so what can I say; Other than, in Chicago, when it comes to the quarterback position, we have to take what we can get.

I still have to say, "Thanks Denver," because he's better than Kyle Orton.
