What is it with these guys?

From Maurice Jones-Drew of Jacksonville: “All I’m saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee … I played the whole season on one.”

Also from Jones-Drew: “Hey, I think the Urban Meyer rule is in effect right now. When the going gets tough … QUIT.”

From Derrick Brooks, formerly of Tampa Bay: “HEY there is no medicine for a guy with no guts and heart.”

We pause here to congratulate Jones-Drew on his new career as a diagnostician and Brooks for his post-NFL venture as both gastroenterologist and cardiologist. And now we move on.

From Deion Sanders, serial preener: “I’m telling you in the playoffs you must drag me off the field. All the medicine in pro locker rooms this dude comes out! I apologize, Bear fans! . . . Folks I never question a player’s injury but I do question a player’s heart.”

Also from Deion: “I better see Dr. [James] Andrews operate live on Cutler and [backup Todd] Collins tonight after the game on NFL network. Truth.”

Here we note that the same Deion Sanders left the Atlanta Braves in the middle of a postseason series to fly to Miami to play for the Falcons. (He was back, via private plane, for that night’s baseball game in Pittsburgh, but his relationship with the Braves never recovered.) And again we move on.

From Gerald Alexander, Carolina safety: “I’ve never played in a playoff game. This guy was one game away and he quit! That’s BS!”

And here we note that if any player would seem to know something about pain, it would be a Panther: Carolina lost 14 times in 16 games, which put the Panthers not one game away from the Super Bowl but a dozen. And yet again we move on.

From Darnell Dockett, Arizona tackle: “If I’m on [the] 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”

From Mark Schlereth, lineman-turned-ESPN-chatterbox: “As a guy who had 20 knee surgeries, you’d have to drag me out on a stretcher to Leave a championship game! #justsaying”

Cutler can be an arrogant SOB, but he got a bad rap on this one.

I am withholding judgement until I hear the diagnosis.

Having said that, in my eyes Cutler hasn't ever inspired a lot of confidence or shown the leadership qualities of say, Aaron Rodgers. A lot of players and pundits would seem to agree. But that's not a good enough reason to condemn him for not staying in the game yesterday.

He could've at least acted like he was more into the outcome of the game while he was standing on the sidelines. The look on his face almost looked as if he didnt want Caleb Haine kid to even do well. He had one of those red-cheeked fake smiles on when the kid made the nice out to Knox to set up the first td.

I agree with that. Even if the injury was legit, throw on a headset and at least try.

Exactly. The problem is the way he acted after he was out.

Wow, so now the guy can't even smile right. That looked real to me, must've been a mistake for the network to show it.
