Why do people hate Jay Cutler so much?

[SuperBowlNachos]

I want him to fail just so my home town kid Caleb Hanie can get his shot. I was ecstatic when I picked up Cutler as my #2 QB in fantasy.

I can see body language.

But SMH at the people who said he isn't tough...he tore his mcl in the NFC championship...

You'll be waiting for a long time.

Martz hates Hanie.

As a Type 1 Diabetic myself I can relate to why he probably didn't come back into the game, as anyone with diabetes can tell you injuries effect our bodies differently than someone without the condition, now I don't know if that was the case but if it was and he felt that by playing through it could have caused further damage to his body then I applaud him for thinking about his overall health over the result of the game any day, because in the end it is just a game. One thing that you must remember is that generally speaking it takes a diabetic more time to heal from an injury than a person in perfect health.

That's actually not bad considering who he's throwing to. But at the sametime, I also know that if this had been somebody else with those numbers playing QB in Chicago, we'd be praising him and saying "Oh, he's a good QB considering his best WR is a project.

I guess.

Like I said though, from the time he's been in Chicago I haven't seen these same tendancies that everyone else is seeing and I have absolutely NO reason to defend the guy considering he plays for my biggest rival LOL.

With Jeff George, I think most of us knew he wasn't going to amount to crap the second he uttered these famous words, "Oh, that leadership stuff is all overrated".

I can't speak for all Broncos fans but the reason I do not like him was his attitude in Denver. He always seemed disinterested. Kinda of like he did sitting on the bench after his injury in the NFC championship game last.

Now don't kill me Bears fans. I honestly believe he was injured and rightfully so was pissed off so I completely understand.

With that bring said he had that attitude the whole time in Denver and was not injured and it just rubbed folks the wrong way.

The other issue I had with him was the gunslinger mentality. I will be the first to say I loved Brett Favre but he showed constant emotion and acted like if the outcome was good or bad he was still having fun. Cutler seemed to try and play like Brett Favre but was emotionless and just sat there and looked disinterested. At least Favre showed that he was upset on mistakes and happy as a little kid on a play ground when his crazy antics worked out. Cutler just sat there like he was watching the game clock and hoping the game ended soon.

Alone on the bench.... with that disinterested look on his face.
