I love double standards

I was just gonna post the exact same thing. lol

Well, you can't please everybody.

[QUOTE= Great players are only still great when they're playing on two good legs....[/QUOTE]

Dick Butkus being the exception to the rule.

Redskins win the game, I don't think this gets any press other than, will he be okay to go for the next game?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The only question that had to be asked - the only one - does he give them the best chance to win, hobbled, broken ribs, ingrown toenail, whatever.

The early reports are RGIII may be out for 12-14 months. I hope its not true, as he is exciting to watch. Washington Redskins Left with Tough Decision Following Injury to RGIII | Bleacher Report. IMO, they should have taken him out. He was ineffective after the first quarter, and you have got to think about his future and the future of the franchise. He is a rookie and the skins traded a ton to get him. Also, did the docs even check him out at Half time?

Media: Jay Cutler is hurt and hurting the team = Wimp/Quitter.
Media: RGIII playing until he falls over with major injury = Stupid.
Well.... which is it?

Jay Cutler was having a bad night, THEN got hurt and left and was seen STANDING on the sidelines.

It's not the same thing, it's not even close to the same thing. It's overly sensitive Cutler fans making a mountain over a molehill.

Jay Cutler was seen STANDING on the sidelines after he was pulled? SO WHAT! Just because someone can stand, doesnt mean they can plant, throw or run. It may have been my imagination, but RGiii could still stand after that 2nd quarter hit, when he should have been pulled. In fact, he was still running around the field.

If your player is hurt badly you protect them. PERIOD. The media blasted Jay and the Bears for doing exactly that, when he tore his MCL.

If you criticized Cutler for sitting down, when he was hurt and his play hurting the team, then you should applaud Shanahan/RGiii for toughing it out. Congrats! They won partial tears in the ACL+LCL, and RGiii may miss the entire 2013 season.
