Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is having a rough 24 hour stretch. After injuring his knee in the 2nd quarter, Cutler went into the locker room to be assessed by team doctors. They thought he could give it a go after halftime but after testing it on the opening drive, he felt some instability. Whether he benched himself or the coaching staff told him to sit is a still a matter of debate. For what it’s worth, Lovie Smith said it was a coaching decision and not Cutler’s—how convenient.
Fans, analysts and players took to Twitter to call out Jay for his toughness–or should I say lack thereof.
Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes:
Cmon cutler u have to come back. This is the NFC championship if u didn’t know!
Former defensive back and NFL analyst Deion Sanders:
Folks i never question a players injury but i do question a players heart. Truth
Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew:
Hey I think the urban meyer rule is effect right now… When the going gets tough……..QUIT..
When Cutler was told his peers were calling him out, he was brought to tears.
Cutler appeared genuinely hurt when asked about the comments, saying: “No comment on that.” He then turned his back to reporters, fiddled with some things on a shelf and bit his lip as tears welled
Well, if words can cause a few sniffles from the Bears quarterback, I imagine this video of fans pissing on his jersey may cause incessant sobbing.
