Jay Quitler or Tweets Gone Bad?

I've never played at the NFL level.  I've never played at the college level.  My high school team lost 40+ games in a row while I was in school.  So what do I know about not giving up?  I know that no matter what level of football I may have played at or with what success I may have come across.  I know that I never gave up.  I never gave up on the field and I won't give up off of the field.  Do I think Jay Cutler quit on his team?  Do I as myself a lot of questions?  Do I have a shot at a Wrangler ad?

I don't question how tough Jay Cutler is because I just don't know.  I don't question whether or not he was hurt, only he really knows.  What I do question is his commitment to winning football games.  Jay Cutler may never make it back to the NFC title game again.  In all likely hood he won't.  The Bears defense is aging and their offensive line has more holes than swiss cheese...heads.  What I want to know is what is his commitment level?  He's played all year giving every thing he has and he's going to sit on the sidelines uninterested in the game.  In a game he may never get to play in again. 

Sometimes you only get one shot. For a guy who was all questions in Denver and got the best coach in the history of that franchise fired, he may not see another title game ever.  Yet he stood idol on the sideline and watched his team go through two additional QBs only to show a little spark of life under the third string QB.

People are question him because he played piss poor before he was out of the game.  He threw away three potential touchdowns.  So when did he get hurt?  On what play?  Can he blame his poor performance on the injury?  Was he trying to avoid being the scapegoat?  Was he too cold?

Jay Cutler blew his opportunity.  Possibly the only one he'll ever get.  He had the chance to put his name next to other iron QBs who played hurt and lead their teams to victory.  But he sat on the sidelines.  After he was hurt he had the opportunity to coach a third string QB who didn't take any reps leading up to the game.  But he sat on the sidelines.  He could have easily written his name down along side past Bear greats had he just played through it.  He could clearly walk.  He wasn't hurt on his last play of the game, so he clearly played a little with the injury. 

Jay Cutler gave up on being a hero.  Win or loss, had he toughed it out he would have gone down in Chicago sports history for playing injured and giving all that he had.  Instead he is being questioned.  His heart is being challenged.  Do I think he quit?  No, he walked out on being a hero.
