With MCL tears along with ACL tears you can move forward just fine, you can even run. its the lateral stuff that is devastatingComment -
He doesn't care about his public image. never has. he's always looked like an asshole and that doesn't bother him. Now he prob cares even lessComment -
looks like he and his girlfriend were mad at each other!Comment -
Chicago needs to get rid of him, you cannot have a player like that on your team.Comment -
His girl is going to be on Calebs jock next year.Comment -
anyone hear trent dilfer on rome today? tore cutler a new a-hole.
and i agree with perception being the reality. when derek anderson was seen smiling during a blowout loss, everyone questioned his heart and character even though it lasted a second. so not surprising when cutler rides a bike, walks around and climbs stairs people are going to question his toughness.
even dilfer played with a sprained mcl, why couldnt cutler?Comment -
Really?
Dilfer injures MCL in right knee, out at least a month
By Len Pasquarelli

Even in the best-case scenario, it appears the Seattle Seahawks will be without Trent Dilfer for the regular-season opener and perhaps the first month of the campaign after the starting quarterback tore the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in a preseason game Saturday night.
The news could have been worse for Seahawks starting quarterback Trent Dilfer.
League sources confirmed the MCL tear and, while such injuries typically do not require surgery, the normal rehabilitation period is between four and eight weeks. The sources also said initial indications were that Dilfer did not tear the anterior cruciate ligament, which would have sidelined him for the entire season.
Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who acknowledged Saturday night there was some ligament damage, confirmed Monday afternoon that Dilfer has an MCL injury and will be out four to eight weeks. The Seahawks are calling the injury a sprain, however, that appears to be just semantics. By definition a sprained ligament is almost always torn, and that is indeed the case with Dilfer's injury. Given the timetable for his recovery, an educated guess is that he sustained a second-degree sprain, a partial tear, of the ligament.
Dilfer was injured in the second quarter when hit by Indianapolis defensive linemen Chad Bratzke and James Cannida. He crumpled to the turf clutching his knee. Bratzke hit Dilfer high as he released the ball, and Cannida came in low. Dilfer had completed nine of 11 passes before being injured.
The eight-year veteran re-signed with Seattle in March, getting a four-year contract that could be worth as much as $18 million, and Holmgren named him the starter at the time. Dilfer, 30, has won his last 19 starts, including four in 2001.
In his absence, former starter Matt Hasselbeck will re-assume the No. 1 job. Holmgren said Saturday that if Dilfer is sidelined for an extended period the Seahawks might have to sign a veteran free agent. The options there are slim, and include names like Tony Banks, Dave Brown, Jeff George, Paul Justin and Scott Mitchell.
It is unlikely the Seahawks would attempt to bring back Ryan Leaf, who abruptly retired at the start of training camp last month.

after the game....
For all the Cutler haters, here's more ammunition, courtesy of a local paper. According to the Chicago Tribune: "Jay Cutler and girlfriend Kristin Cavallari dined at Mastro's Steakhouse on Sunday after the Bears' 21-14 loss to the Packers in the NFC championship game.
"Cutler, who left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury, was not on crutches but 'he limped a tiny bit,' according to a source. The couple was joined by 11 other people in Mastro's private upstairs dining room, and our spies tell us that he took the stairs rather than the elevator."

bottom line Cutler is a pussy and this just proves the fact to all.Comment -
I guess we know who the man of that relationship is!Comment -
cutler will never shake this.
its jim "chris" everett all over again.Comment -
Cutler was benched, he did not take himself out of the game. Had he done the latter then all of this criticism would be justified. And for those of you thin skinned Nancys that need to see him with a limp or on crutches in order for this injury to be "real" turn in your ******* man card. This guy doesn't owe you all anything especially to fake a limp to make this injury appear more realComment -
talk about blown out of proportion, unreal, the media is bad enough, the social media makes it much worse!!Comment -
can't stand dilfer.Comment -
something people forget, todd collins couldnt' even last without getting hurt. If cutler stayed in he would of probaly tore up his knee completelyComment -
Cutler sucked in the game big time, best chance they had was as it turned outComment -
jay cutler is a fraudComment -
he also has millions of dollarsComment -
All these dumbasses calling cutler out, I'm embarrassed for yall.Comment -
Cutler is such a girl but TMz annoys the hell out of me.Comment -
hes a big fraudComment -
In my book he's not a fraud just not a great NFL QB. Probably a good 2nd team QB. If your Manning, Rodgers, Flacko goes down you send in Cutler until the starter is well. He simply misses too many receivers at critical times. Recall the 2nd drive against the Packers on a 3rd and 9 they ran about a 18 yard out pattern and the WR was wide open but Cutler sailed the ball 10 yards over his head. It was kind of his signature play. Missing open WR's at critical times.Comment -
looked like he was walking with a limp
either way with him or without him the bears would not have won the game
time to move onComment -
At this point ESPN is a lot like TMZ and the E channel.Comment -
I tore my ACL completely and I was playing basketball on it 2 weeks later. Walking around without any pain just a couple days later. MCL is much of the same deal. People need to chill and stop thinking that him walking around means anything about the injury.Comment -
looked like he was walking pretty stiff to be fair but i would be too if i was fukking that spinner.Comment
