Shut up HR! He totally should have stayed in the game! Its not like ignoring knee problems for even a short time can have any long lasting and very serious complications for an athlete even years after he retires!

If he didn't want to end up a partially crippled shell of himself he shouldn't have strapped on the pads.

But why am I telling you all of this? You really had these injuries .... right?

yes people do react differantly to this injury and Cutler went back in for a series so he could function with the injury. He was also riding the bike and walking on the sideline so the injury didnt have that severe of an effect on him. He could move around so he should have been in the game or atleast showing some signs of wanting to go back into the game

So he goes back in the game after getting hurt (what a pussy), by your admission, tests his knee out, he and the training staff decides he cannot go and you blast him for .... what exactly?

So you admit that different people are affected differently with the injury yet you have an issue with him riding a bike on the sideline. You don't see the hypocrisy in that stance?

Brady walked to the sidelines after his tear. Ditto for Jamal Lewis. Phillip Rivers walked around after his was torn too. Were they all faking it as well?

But again, why I am pointing all of this out to you? Because you sure did have this same injury. Right?

Finally, an admission.

So he needed to act like he was hurt in order for this to be right.

Glad someone is finally on record then.

I've torn the MCL in my left knee playing basketball and tore my right ACL playing football and each time it was different. The MCL tear, though not as severe as the ACL tear, was so painful that I couldn't return to the game because it felt as if my knee were sliding off of the lower portion of my leg.

I actually played another down with the ACL tear until a blinding bolt of pain shot from my leg and I nearly passed out. Coach was pissed that I was stupid enough to go back in after the initial tear.
