Like as I said in my last post, Cutler left the game in the 3rd quarter with a knee injury. Reports came out today that he suffered a sprained MCL, and that he would need surgery to fix it. It was the coaching staff's decision to keep Cutler from the game and put in QB's Todd Collins and eventually Caleb Hailey.
Monday morning he was slammed with critics, with such things saying that he had money betted on the Packers, he's not mentally tough, etc. I started to believe so too, until i heard of his condition of his knee, and that he did not pull himself on his own. It didn't do much help that he had a quarterback rating of 31.8 against the stiffling Packers defense.
Cutler has been critized throughout his career as being not mentally tough and having negative body language on the field, as if he wasn't interested in playing the game. So when millions watching the game on Sunday that he wasn't coming back, everyone assumed that he was pulling a Paul Crewe. Only the Chicago coaching staff knows the severity of his condition, and if they truly believed Cutler couldn't go back in, then he couldn't go back in. No sense in sending your player out there if he can't give you the best chance to win.
