Words Of Wisdom From Trent, Deion, and MJD

I hope Jay can keep ignoring all this media bs and just continues to do his thing.

I was furiously arguing with a friend of mine all last night about this same thing.

someone bring these points up to these players and ex-players. That’s one horrible stat line Dilfer.

My only question is: why wouldn’t the Bears coaches let him out there for a play or two to decide if it was a lost cause or not? Or was Cutler already hurt coming out of halftime…I don’t believe he was.

Especially about Deion.. Man that guy was a serious pansy..

If you can find ten clips from your pro career of you making an aggressive, honest to god wrap-em-up and drive-em-down tackle, I’ll print out this post, wrap it around a football, and forcibly sodomize myself with it.

As for Cutlers knee injury I just hope he gets better and can continue to improve his play. Just look at what happened to QB’s like Culpepper or Palmer after they got injured…

were calling Jay a wuss…yet none of them have ever had knee injuries…I have…when your ACL is damaged (torn or totally gone like mine was…you can walk just fine after it happens, but running is hard and you CAN NOT sidestep at all…the surgeons that repaired my knee told me that if you tear your ACL you can run in a straight line all day, but as soon as you step to the left or right, your knee gives and then it swells, which happened to me a lot before I had the surgery.

were the same ones that used to bitch about Erik Kramer on the sidelines that he was laughing and joking around and that he wasn’t taking it serious enough. People just love to bitch..

The ironic part to me is that Hanie came in and produced when Jay could not, injury or no.

everyone is still ready to throw him under the bus, running out of town, etc. Jay has a very bright future in Chicago and I think that we will see it if we can put this behind us, get Jay healthy and get him a couple missing pieces this off season.

I will never question Jay’s leadership as long as guys like Chris Harris, Olin Kreutz and Urlacher are defending him. The latter 2 of those 3 have been with the team since I first got into watching the Bears. I have a TON of respect for them and I know that they are held in a high regard league-wide as well. Kreutz said he could see Jay’s like shaking. You can’t say he didn’t try.

Donovan McNabb didn’t get this lambasted when he puked in the Super Bowl. Everyone shut up. Jay Cutler is tough and if THIS leads you to turn on the Bears, newsflash, you were never a fan.

I’m one of those who isn’t sold on Cutler ever being the QB we hoped he would be when they traded for him, but I would never question his toughness or the decision to take him out of the game after an injury. He has done nothing to warrant anyone questioning that part of his game or personality in the two years he’s been here.

I’d like to see him make more progress next season, assuming there are no coaching changes, and convince me that he has the mental makeup to be a championship QB. That has nothing to do with his injury yesterday, it’s more about his decision making and stepping up his play in big games.

Great calls, though, on Deion (overrated player in my opinion) and Dilfer (not even a decent player in my opinion). They both are morons.

feel compelled to comment on Cutler and anatomy.

the early report is that Cutler had a torn MCL. The MCL and the LCL are the ligaments on the outside of the knee. In terms of mechanical function (at least my understanding), the MCL and LCL are much more important than the ACL/PCL. It’s possible to walk around on a torn ACL. You can even play football on it (in fact I played HS football with a torn ACL).

It’s not possible to do that with a torn MCL.

I think people are confused because a torn ACL is considered a more serious injury. But that’s only because there’s no blood flow to the ACL so it doesn’t heal itself. You have to have it replaced with a graft. Hence an ACL reconstruction. The existing ACL is completely drilled out and replaced with a graft. That results in 12 month recovery.

The MCL does have blood flowing to it so it can heal itself. The recovery is much shorter. So it’s considered a less severe injury … but from a functional perspective a torn MCL is a much bigger mechanical problem.

He was on Cowherd today and backtracked, and said almost exactly what you did about being hammered behind a line all year and not saying anything.

called the players critizing Jay on Tweeter about leaving the game due to injury

unprofessional and unfair

To think I used to have some respect for Mojo and Primetime.

and when the chance came, he pounces. Joke that yahoo has him as a writer

BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS!!!

But for a guy who backed Mcnabb and who will take shots and Jay Cutler even when Cutler peformed Marvelously? No Thank You, Deion Sanders you lost a fan.

Where in the HELL do any of these players, who, as Urlacher said, are sitting on their asses watching a team other than theirs play in the title game, get off commenting at all about Cutler?? I mean, what makes Dockett or Drew think I give a rat’s ass what they think? STFU.

No one knew the full story until today, so anyone with a brain and an ounce of professional respect would keep their mouths shut. And even then, who still cares what they freaking think? I sure hope Jones Drew comes across the middle against the Bears some time soon. Hopefully Urlacher will show him what it’s like to have to play hurt after that.

I’m most upset about Trent Dilfer. Most TV talking heads don’t bother me, and I cut former players some slack, but throughout this season (and others) I’ve been infuriated by Trent Dilfer. For someone who was such an awful player, the butt of the joke when the Ravens won the Super Bowl, he sure likes to tell you how much Jay (and others) can’t cut it. Whats worse is that he often brings up his own “experience” as if he were Dan Marino relating to you how a Hall of Famer does it.

We always joked that Deion was out with a broken fingernail or a stubbed toe. In my eyes Deion has no room to talk on the toughness issue. The dude was consistently one of the least toughest players in the league.

I love the people who criticized our o line all year were the same ones saying jay should have played through it. You don’t put a guy who can’t move behind that o line.

But to question his toughness is just ridiculous. Cutler has had his ass beaten senseless for the last 20 weeks. The only time he came out was after being severely concussed, due to the nine sacks he took in the first half of the Giants game in week 4.

Agreed 100%

Nicely said, especially about the Dilfous.
