Cutler suffered a right thumb sprain during Monday's loss to the Eagles and currently is considered day to day, head coach John Fox told reporters Tuesday. Fox added that it doesn't appear that Cutler will need surgery on his thumb. The is a positive development after NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Bears were preparing for a lengthy absence for Cutler.

So- If it is a sprain, It is anti-inflamatories and pain management... and a return to the field.
Cant wait to see how this plays out.

 

[Chicoman]

let the ripping off of appendages begin.

This is disappointing. I was actually really looking forward to Hoyer/Barkley, not that they are good, but I can't stand to watch Jay anymore.

Thaty is why it will be interesting to see it play out.

If Pace and fox have lost confidence and plan on moving on, this is the perfect moment to do so- Keep him out to "heal" and let the cards fall where they will with Hoyer.

On the other side, they could just as well put him back out and see if he has a few really good games and push off the drafting of a QB for one more season.

This will be a very interesting season.

 

[Zion]

Bench him for the rest of the season anyway

Sore thumb is the least of Jay's issues. Dude has a sprained head. He is slow as shit in processing information. He is going to make Jimmy Mac seem like Einstein when he gets to that age. He needs to hang it up.

 

[BearUp]

Sounds like Fox is sick of Jay and ready to throw him under the bus...

"I think Jay probably originally hurt his thumb five years ago," Fox said. "But he practiced every play of practice last week, I think you guys were out there."

 

[Burque]

dammit!!! I was hoping he had completely torn it off.

 

[airtime143]

so in fox language... Cutler day to day means it was amputated at the elbow?

The only positive of Cutler continuing to start would be him stringing together a few decent games and increasing his trade value. That is about it.

Jay is day to day like Jimmy G is day to day. Nothing more than shit from the HC to make teams have to do extra prep on the QB's.. Jimmy G will be day to day until Brady returns and Jay will be day to day waiting for a Benny Hinn revival.

Expect 4-6 weeks minimum.

 

[Monster]

I hope (pick) 6 plays.
Want to move up that draft.

....or completely failing and giving Pace a reason to launch Loggains at the minimum... plus a good draft pick.


Hoyer playing siginificant time kind of scares me. He managed the fuck out of the regular season last year, and it is entirely possible to win 5-7 games with him if the defense takes hold.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah...no.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah...no.

You're right. In hindsight, I have no fucking clue who would trade for Cutler given his post season experience.

 

[bears26]

Worst QB of All time. I think I have said this before. Still has not changed from earlier today.

 

[WindyCity]

The Bears should bench him and bottom out.

 

[westcoast bear fanatic]

Maybe McKnee could be contracted to rip that thumb clean the fuck off and just end it already. A couple double cheeseburgers should seal the deal.

 

[Desperado34]

The Bears should bench him and bottom out.

I gotta give you credit when you say stuff like this. As if teams have benched their starting qb just to "bottom out."

When does that happen, and can you name teams that have ever intentionally done that? That's meatball 101.
