Is Jay Cutler a quitter?

Comparing a runner go a NFL qb in a championship game is stupid.

For one thing, a runner can run his marathon or whatever again next year. A team may never get to sniff the Super Bowl again.

Which leads to the second point. A runner has no one depending on him. A NFL qb has his entire team depending on him. It is the most important position in all of sports.

I think that if Cutler quit that is very sad, He Earns Millions of dollars a year and should work his Ass off to earn the money that he gets paid, I don't like to compare sports to teachers but in this case I will, take a teacher for instance with cancer or something very tragic in there life going on, they still go to work and still work there ass off for there students because they care about there students and care about there progress or what they can do, Why in any means would some one that earns millions of dollars quit in potential the last game of there season. I know if I earned millions of dollars you bet my ass would be out there doing what I could to earn what the team worked hard for all year long.

The dude definitely seems to be a quitter.

Not because he came out of the game. Sometimes an injury is such that you "can't go" and I have to believe any athlete wants to be out there if they can.

He is a quitter because of the way he pouted and brooded along the sideline as though he was trying to show it was all about himself, not the team. Intentional or not, that is how it appeared. The guy has always had that selfish reputation, even at Vandy, and this looked to be another chapter in his book of bad attitude.

I am just glad this happened to a white qb. If Cutler were black,can you imagine the national outcry of these racially motivated attacks?

Give me a break! There is always next season - who is going to be their quarterback next season when their quarterback is out because he threw out his knee trying to be macho?

A runner has no one depending on him? Neither does a quarterback! It's not like there are any dire consequences if the team loses - it's a ball game!

This thread proves that no one really knows. I do think Jay OWES the Chicago fans an honest and open explanation. As Dion said, he left the "perception" of tapping out. That may not be the case, but if Jay really cares about the team or the fans he would give a press conference and address it...

which one are we talking about?

Yes, it was very stupid for me to run a marathon when I knew I was injured. I know my time was by no means as fast as most of you claim to be. I was honest about my slow 3:06(i suspect honest times rare here), hell I think 20 some women beat me that day. I wasn't trying to impress anyone,you missed the point. If a no-name runner can force himself through a ridiculous injury for 26.2, I cannot fathom why Jay Cutler, widely regarded as the NFL crybaby, couldn't finish an NFC title game w/ an injury pale in comparison to mine. Bears fans @ Soldier Field let Cutler have it everytime he was on the jumbotron in 2nd half. However you want to defend him, HE IS A QUITTER.

Which NFL Quarterback was sacked the most times in the 2010-2011 season? Hint - due to a poor offensive line.

This quarterback was sacked 52 times for over 350 yards. How many teams in the last 20 years have given up more sacks than this in one season?

Name the three starters in the last 3 years who have started every game for their team at Quarterback.

Name the one of the four starters who have only missed one start in the last four years at quarterback.

Name the NFL quarterback who was knocked down in the NFL playoffs, walked off the field, and did not return the rest of the game - thus ending his teams chances of a three-peat in Super Bowl Wins?

Answers:

1 Cutler

2 only five worse teams in 20 years, one being the Lions

3 Manning, Rivers, Manning

4 Cutler

5 Joe Montana

Can you go back and re-write your rant in English? I have no idea what this drivel is attempting to convey.

Joe Montana

OK, he walked off the field with the following injuries:

concussion, broken hand, bruised sternum and cracked ribs.

Also, it didn't end his team's chances, they were ahead. And I believed they only had the ball for one more possession and were trying to run out the clock anyway.

It had quotes from players. Try to deflect again. Or, you could just give up like your boy Cutler.

Try giving a link to the article.

I don't believe Jay Cutler suffered any serious knee injury. I came to this opinion only after watching the entire game again. If you think all NFL injury reports are accurate then why did the Bears report Todd Collins suffered a serious shoulder injury on Monday then today we find out he that was false. This was to cover them selves for placing Hanie in the game with 54 sec left in the third quarter which officially ended Cutler's day when he was still questionable to return. Cutler's day included 7 series 6 for 14 with 31 passing rating. Watching the game again there was never a play that he could of suffered a serious knee injury. 7 series for the day and after each one he walks off the field with his head down, looking the same after each series. His last series included 2 runs with forte and then his last play was a ball bounced at Fortes feet. So he was never hit on the 7th series, lets go back to the previous series before half time. Play one was a big play for 17 yrd completion to Forte, He looks fine, play two is the interception to Knox. On this play he is able to plant his back foot and step in the pass better then he had all day and does not get hit after he releases the horribly thrown ball to the wrong side. ON the day he missed two touchdowns to Hester, both he was wide open. The bears have claimed to pull him after he wanted to return. his only shown effort to recover and do anything was when he was biking with a jacket down to his knees, if he really wanted to get back into the game, would he not be on the thing trying hard to show the staff he was good to go. No a full length jacket, he looked cold and disinterested all day. i just hope sometime long down the road we don't find out its complications of diabetes.

Deion Sanders, MJD, Derrick Brooks... that was immediate and off the top of my head. There are more.

Or he has a torn MCL you racist

Maybe he was just using a fake name to demonstrate hyperbole. Many people think that every white player will not get back up when hit by a black player.

"Quitter" is pretty strong, as he had a real injury. But in the very least, there are other players who would've continued playing. Plus, Cutler's supposedly (which is bs) a franchise QB- so he's on a higher standard.

Also, it's a joke that former/current NFL'ers expressing sincere opinions are being criticized for doing so. They're the best to comment.

Dilfer called him out on tv. Aikman said during the game that he could tell from Cutler's body language that he quit.

They know just a tad bit more about football than you do.

Cutler quit. No mas.

Uh, so he quit- meaning he did not want to continue to play on a bad knee. I don't see the problem here. If dude was a quitter, he would've been doing so in meaningless regular season blowouts prior to now. The discussion seems a bit ridiculous.

As a type 1 diabetic, who plays sports at an elite level, I think Jay Cutler EXEMPLIFIES toughness!! A great inspiration for any kid out there struggling with a chronic illnes. My two cents.
