@RaheemBrock (Raheem Brock Seahawks DE) Cutler...wut a sissy! This is the NFC Championship game! Guaranteed if it was brett farve..he would still be in the game! (and) Cutler u little siSsy...how does it feel that ur back up's backup is the only 1that can put pts on the board!I bet cutler comes back now!

Bears QB Jay Cutler was out of the game early in the third quarter with a knee injury, and those in the Twitter world, especially his NFL colleagues, began to brutalize him.

@Jones_Drew32 (Maurice Jones-Drew Jaguars RB) Hey I think the urban meyer rule is effect right now... When the going gets tough........QUIT.. (and) All I'm saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee... I played the whole season on one...

Cutler, out with a knee injury that no one had seen him sustain and that kept him on the bench for most of the second half of the Bears 21-14 loss to the Packers, showed no heart. He has no guts. One sweet-looking woman on Twitter she looks like she makes cookies on the weekends for her children called him the p-word.

@DBrooks55 (Derrick Brooks former Buccaneers LB) BEARS fans I am so SORRY, I have to be crawling and cant get up to come off field,Josh Freeman would not come out, MEDS ARE AVAILABLE

But much of the rancor came from Cutlers fellow players. Most of them would play on a knee injury any kind of knee injury if they had the chance to participate in a conference championship game. Like a certain QB from San Diego.

@DBrooks55: Knee injury has to be VERY VERY INJURED, if you come out, Philip Rivers p[layed on torn acl now its pick,seriously JAY CUTLER

Cutler left the field a few seconds early at the end of the first half, and he was one of the last Bears on the field to begin the second half. After one series, he was done for the day.

@kerryrhodes (Kerry Rhodes Cardinals safety): Cmon cutler u have to come back. This is the NFC championship if u didn't know.

I guess the issue now is how his teammates will view him. Is he not tough enough? Did he quit on his teammates?

@Thepresidentcb (Asante Samuel Eagles CB) If he was my teammate I would be looking at him sideways.


Hell, would his teammates even allow him to dress in the same space as they did after the game?

@ddockett (Darnell Dockett Cardinals DT) If I'm on chicago team jay cutler has to wait till me and the team shower get dressed and leave before he comes in the locker room! #FACT

So, lets hear from one of Cutlers teammates. A guy who most likely knows Cutler better than anybody else on Twitter. A guy who watched the Bears offensive line allow an NFL-high 56 sacks behind a mediocre offensive line, a guy who watched Cutler continue to rise from those sacks to take even more punishment.

A lot of jealous people watching our game on TV when their season is over, Bears LB Brian Urlacher said when he was told many NFL players were blasting Cutler on Twitter. Jay was hurt. We dont question his toughness. Hes tough as hell. He doesnt bitch, he doesnt complain when he gets hit.

Will the comments from his teammates - C Olin Kreutz indicated to reporters he thought Cutler had a torn ligament and that he couldn't believe Cutler came out for the second half at all - change the publics perception of Cutler? Probably not. If Cutler who declined after the game to comment on those questioning his toughness is diagnosed with a torn ACL, will people walk back their words? Doubtful. If he needs major surgery, will people apologize for their snap judgments? No chance.

The dye already has been cast for Cutler. His reputation will suffer. It might follow him for the rest of his career.

People wont forget this, no matter the reasons he couldnt play. People still will want to burn his jersey. His career will be tainted by this. Its unfortunate.

The irony is that his backup was more productive than he was, so it was arguably a blessing in disguise.

The criticism is a catch 22, though. On one hand, he didn't appear to be writhing in pain so it obviously looks bad in a sport for tough guys with the opportunity to go the SB on the line...on the other hand, consider the concerns for player safety (more specifically for head injuries mind you) over the past few years.

I found this comment interesting:

I live here in Chicago, and I saw Cutler out at 12 midnight last night drinking at bars in Lincoln Park with his girlfriend. Is it just me, or would you think drinking and partying before the biggest game in Chicago history might affect your game? Maybe some guys can handle this, but for someone who has never been in this situation, I would think you would do everything in your power to be ready. Clearly he was not, as it was a pathetic display, well before he supposedly got hurt.

^^ well that certainly alters the how I look at his injury. This certainly isn't the first time a player has been up to trouble the night before a big game (e.g. Eugene Robinson before the super bowl when with the Falcons) but it still has to be mind-numbingly frustrating to see it happen.

I have to admit that I have been enjoying this "controversy" on the sports shows this morning.

But-

I just read that Cutler welled up when told about the criticism from players on other teams.

He has ruined the mood, for me. Some will see that as further evidence of...whatever.

I vote we leave him alone. We got our win, and while this whole story is extraordinarily tempting to cling to, to revel in, etc.

It's not our place to judge him. Others will do so. Mercilessly, apparently.

We got bigger fish to fry, namely, a Super Bowl game.

This off-season is not starting out so good for Bears fans.

It must be very, very handy to have 22 doctors on the field at all times. I do wonder why these players don't actually tell the trainers what's wrong with their teammates when their injured, though, seeing as they can just go by TV footage and tell how bad the injuries are.

I do not like Jay Cutler. He said his knee was hurt. He says the doctors told him he couldn't go. I think Lovie played a role in that decision. Deien Sanders said it best, "i wont question a player being injured, but i will question a players heart".

I don't know if he was hurt or not, but I do know that Phillip Rivers played with a torn MCL or ACL for a full game in the playoffs. Jay wasn't getting iced, he was up standing around and I heard he wasn't even trying to help the third string QB. If that's true, that's shady.

I also don't think he deserves to be blasted like this because we don't know all of the details. Jay does get vocal with his team in the huddle and occasionally on the sideline, but no one wants to see or hear that.

One other thing. This guy has been sacked a zillion times these past two years...

Think about it, the SOB has to play behind an offensive line that is worse than ours, for cripes sake.

I have never seen him "tap out" or whatever. I don't like Cutler, I admit that, but it mostly has to do with his "twerpy" appearance--to me-- and his "seeming" indifference at times, and not seeing him actively involved with his backups only adds "fuel to the fire" in my perceptions of him. It doesn't help his cause that he is Chicago Bear--again, to me.

But "quitter"?

Nah. Not when I really try to be fair, regardless of MRI results or whatever.
