Well, that shouldn't matter. He played on a torn ACL, in the same situation. However, he didn't play very well, and it would've been beneficial to the team to go to the backup. Just sayin', it can be done.
4th, if you watch the first series of the second half...
He couldn't plant, and his passes were all over the place. Jay is not exactly Mr. Bullseye to begin with. Who really knows what would have happened, but I doubt we win that game if Jay finished it. Very likely we'd have lost by more.
Jays very last play he runs backwards, not hobbles backwards but runs and he throws is low because he has a player in his face. For a guy that has a serious leg injury he seems to be able to RUN. Here is the video at 3:30 where he is running.
Easy for Ditka ( and anyone else for that matter ) to say " They would have had to take me off the field on a stretcher " , blah,blah,blah. Show me the next guy who plays with a Grade 2 strain IMMEDIATELY after it happens. Maybe after a weeks worth of rest and treatment and alot of tape you can hobble around a little bit. But play RIGHT AFTER it happens ? Bull. And anyone who blathers on about how much tougher they would have been is full of crap. And anyone who believes he could have / should have played is full of crap also. And anyone who continues to pound on the guy for this, is just flat-out being an AH .... because they WANT to be. And that's the truth.
Top Mcnabb playing the rest of a game on a broken ankle.

Big difference between running and planting. Jays a head case to begin with.

Believe what u want. We're not talking about the leg on a chair. Everyone's different and who to say just how close it was to a grade 1. Or maybe you'd like to go back to the Kordell Stewart days. U must be a member of the media. Buncha waterboys who never strained anything in their pathetic little lives. Nuff said.
What should you call any : Fumble , Hold , Interception , Three and out , or Sack ?

spot on blue horshoe..and gekko agrees with it also : )
wasn't the player's Decision and esp in 2010, the teams taking the safety serious and not allowing players back in be it for concussions or even other injuries.

Nobody is forcing you to agree or disagree with me. Personally would have played because this game has more meaning to me than some people on here making excuses. I have watched enough sports in my life time to say certain players have a higher tolerance of pain than other athletes.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler began working out with a handful of offensive teammates on Tuesday, according to a league source.
The group, which included roughly eight skill position players, took part in a basic workout which included running routes.
"It's important," coach Lovie Smith said during an interview on ESPN when told Cutler had planned the workouts. "The skill guys can get together, but what's really important right now is all of our players are out working out."
No defensive players were present.
Players from teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, New York Jets and New York Giants, featuring high-profile quarterbacks, have been practicing on their own to work on such things as timing and route running. They can't practice at team facilities because of the lockout, so some have gone to colleges, while others have used high school facilities.
The workouts were held at two undisclosed locations in the Northwest Suburbs in relative close proximity to the Bears training facility in Lake Forest.
Bears backup quarterback Caleb Hanie told ESPN 1000 last week that several players were planning a workout.
"We've exchanged emails with numerous guys, just back and forth, talking about it," Hanie said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show." "But we really just want to make sure that if we do have something -- or when we do have something -- that it's very beneficial and not just a waste of time.
The NFL and its locked-out players will resume talks June 7 just days after a June 3 hearing in a federal appeals court regarding a lower court's ruling that temporarily lifted the lockout.
Jeff Dickerson covers the Bears for ESPNChicago.com and ESPN 1000.
We now have news of a second NFC North team to begin conducting players-only workouts during the lockout.
According to ESPNChicago.com corporate cousin Jeff Dickerson, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler led a group of about eight skill position players through passing drills at two locations in the Chicago suburbs. Cutler told the Chicago Sun-Times over the weekend that the sessions were "locked and loaded."
I have my doubts about the significance of these workouts, but as we’ve discussed, quarterbacks and receivers are at the top of the list of possible beneficiaries. No defensive players were present, according to Dickerson.
