Cutler out 6-8 weeks with broken thumb

Bears signed QB Josh McCown, formerly of the 49ers.
The Bears missed out on Kyle Orton when the Chiefs beat them to him in the waivers process. McCown is a fallback option. The 32-year-old former UFL quarterback has been awful on the field throughout his eight-year NFL career, but is familiar with Mike Martz's scheme and can hold a clipboard with the best of 'em. He's probably very little threat to Caleb Hanie's starting job. In terms of the depth chart, McCown figures to compete in practice with rookie Nathan Enderle for the primary backup job.Comment

Unfortunately I get to watch every Bears game. He is tough I will give him credit, he does take a beating. But are you seriously gonna sit here and defend him for sitting out over a broken thumb? I don't give a shit how broken it is if I were a Bears fans I'd be pissed. Again, so many players have played with equivalent or worse injuries. Shoot that shit up and get out there. I doubt it's his call, so it really doesn't matter. /groan
Top 3 QB in the NFC?! :niggaplease:
Originally posted by JayRockI'd rather have Hanie or Enderle play over Orton. They know Martz's system much better. I wouldn't want the thing tuned down even more for Orton who won't have any time in it.
Bottom line: I think they would have outsmarted themselves and simultaneously tanked Orton's offseason next year if he did land with the team. I haven't seen much about Hanie, but I was legitimately terrified after a few series at his ability to beat the Packers in last years playoffs. good enough for me. the kid should play hard with proper coaching and access to first team players all week long.Comment

Do I need to explain this yet again dickbag?
I've lived in and around Baltimore my whole life. The Colts left when I was five. I didn't start paying attention to football until I was about seven or eight? Back then it was all about Da Bears and I've been a fan ever since. Baltimore finally got a team back in 1996. I still root for them because they are the home team but my allegiance is with the Bears. The few times they play each other I of course root for the Bears. I went to a Bears vs Ravens game at M&T Bank Stadium a few years ago decked out in Bears gear.

Because of two reasons. When I joined MM there were a lot more Bears fans on the site than Ravens fans and ravens52bears54 had a better ring to it.
Would I name both of my dogs after prominent Bears players if I wasn't a diehard fan?Comment

I don't feel like finding the quote but to whoever is questioning Cutler sitting out with a broken thumb on his throwing hand is stupid. He is more of a liability to the team playing injured. The correct thing to do is get the damage repaired and hope for a comeback. Not Favre it and hope for the best. Some legendary players can play great through such an awful injury and some probably will play like they have a broken thumb. Cutler would be one that would.
Does that diminish his skill as a player because he can't throw the ball with a broken thumb? I sure as fuck know I couldn't do it. That is why I say nothing about players who decide to play or not play through injuries. It's easy to condemn a decision sitting in the air conditioning on the internet.Comment
