So let me get this straight...I'm supposed to believe that Jay Cutler faked or exaggerated an injury to take himself out of a playoff game? That has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard. And please don't bombard me with more nonsense about body language, facial expressions, and ice packs.
Now for the only vote that counts, Coach Lovie Smith:
"Jay didn't take himself out of the game. If you're going to attack somebody, you should be attacking me as the head football coach, and our medical staff. We're the ones. He wanted to go back in. He was injured and went back in in the second half. I see it the complete opposite of how it's been portrayed right now."
Finally, the voice of reason. Critics can question a lot of things about Jay Cutler, but toughness isn't one of them. Did anybody watch the Bears/Giants game this year? How would you like to play behind that offensive line?
Cutler might be a jerk (I honestly have no idea one way or the other), but he shows up to play. If he was on the sidelines during the biggest game of his career, he had to be injured. Case closed.
I love how the "experts", "journalists" and other current/former players evoke names like Favre, Rivers, etc who play hurt. Hey dumbasses, those guys got to take as many cortizone shots & pain relievers they wanted to make it through the game. Cutler has Type 1 diabetes, thus he cannot take any of these medications bc it would screw up his insulin & blood sugar levels, causing potentially more severe issues than a partially torn mcl
