Actually awesome, depending on your point of view.

Awesome great response with name callingI'm not defending him, dip####. And no, throwing 2 touchdowns against a great defense in 4th quarter in the NFC championship game is not what I expect from a 2nd or 3rd string QB in the NFL. I said he did a hell of a job considering the position he was put in. Wake up! Where did the hell did I say should be starting over Cutler? Please find it.LOL....yet your the one defending if Caleb Hanie should be starting over Cutler, seriously? ...and I couldn't know less about football?He played ok, but is that not what is expected for an NFL qb?You couldn't know less about football. In one of the most important games in franchise history, that kid came in with no experience or reps in practice and led them to two scores against one of the best defenses in the NFL in the 4th quarter. The offense couldn't even manage to score a single point up until then. Sure, he wasn't good enough to lead them to a 4th quarter comeback, but who would be in that position? He did a hell of a job in trying to and wasn't that far away either.
This thread is all shtick anyway. No one really thinks he should be their starting QB next year.
...But he only threw 1 td, but continue with ur vast knowledge of football.

If Hanie were a FA, he just made himself a good amount of cash to be the primary backup somewhere or maybe get a chance to start. But it's not in Chicago.

he should at least be given every chance to be the #2 there next year. He cant replace their guy. Cutler isnt bad. Haine could be a lot worse.

Third-stringer Caleb Hanie rallied the Bears in a game they would eventually lose 21-14, but some fans took out their frustration on Cutler by burning his jersey in the parking lots outside Soldier Field.
Fellow NFL players questioned Cutler's toughness on Twitter during the game, and ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl-winning QB Trent Dilfer called him out after the game.
"You can play this position (QB) hurt," Dilfer said on ESPN. "Some of us have
Hmmmmmmmmmm, fans burning his jersey. I think JC is done in Bearland.

Way to cover your ### now that it's been revealed that Cutler has at the very least torn his MCL.He should get to compete for it, since he didn't quit on the Bears in the playoffs. Cutler is more talented and experienced, so he woudl win, but at least make Cutler earn his job back after quitting (or at the very least giving the perception of quitting).gianmarco said:
We get it. You hate Cutler and think he "quit", despite teammates, doctors, trainers and coaches all saying things to the contrary.And JFTR, let's all keep in mind that Cutler had thrown zero picks before injuring his knee and Hanie threw 2 in 1 quarter - it's not like Hanie was lights out. As others have posted, if Cutler had posted Hanie's numbers in the 4th quarter, people would be demanding his head on a platter.

Jones-Drew says he didn’t intend shot at Cutler

Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew(notes) says he never meant to take a shot at Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler(notes) or question his toughness.
The Jacksonville Jaguars star told The Associated Press on Monday that his tweet comparing Cutler to former Florida coach Urban Meyer was merely a joke — one that clearly backfired.
Jones-Drew said he was rooting for Cutler and the Bears in Sunday's NFC championship game, and when Cutler left in the third quarter, Jones-Drew thought it was the perfect time to poke fun at the Gators.
"Hey I think the urban meyer rule is effect right now… When the going gets tough……..QUIT," Jones-Drew posted on his Twitter page.
Jones-Drew has received death threats and plenty of ill will from Bears' fans. The Bears also defended Cutler, who was diagnosed with sprained MCL on Monday.
Jones-Drew was caught off guard by the backlash.
"I never attacked him, called him soft or a sore loser," Jones-Drew in a telephone interview Monday. "I never questioned his toughness. I think people took my joke out of context. I was taking at shot at Florida fans."
Jones-Drew acknowledged that Cutler's injury — the Bears said he sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee — was serious enough to leave the game. But when Jones-Drew sent the tweet, he was unaware that anything was wrong with the quarterback.
"All I thought about was being in that position, being in that game," Jones-Drew said. "I've never been in a title game, so my first thought was why wouldn't you want to play in that situation."
Bears fans turned it on Jones-Drew, with many pointing out that he missed the final two games of the season even though the Jaguars were in the AFC post-season hunt. Others said they hope he blows out his knee this season.
Jones-Drew played all season with torn meniscus in his left knee, saying there were days when he would wake up and not be able to walk. He learned the severity of the injury during training camp — he basically had bone scraping against bone — but tried to keep it hidden because he didn't want opponents taking shots at his knee.
The injury became more painful after his sixth consecutive 100-yard game, but he still tried to play at Indianapolis on Dec. 19 — a game in which Jacksonville could have clinched the AFC South. After that, and with the team no longer in control of its destiny, Jones-Drew shut it down.
Cutler's defenders didn't seem to care on Twitter.
"I don't have a problem with people coming back at me," Jones-Drew said. "That interaction makes it fun. But some people took it too far by threatening my life. … I'm not going to stop tweeting. I've never attacked anyone and never will."
Jones-Drew watched the game "as a fan with friends" and wanted Cutler to play well since he drafted him in a post-season fantasy football league. He later tweeted that "All I'm saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee… I played the whole season on one…"
"I threw out this joke and the backlash came in," Jones-Drew said. "I tried to make it right, but it backfired."
The Bears are still miffed by the tweets. Receiver Earl Bennett(notes), Cutler's teammate at Vanderbilt, called the criticism "very unprofessional." Defensive tackle Anthony Adams(notes) labelled it "garbage" and "unfair."
"I expect them to stick up for Cutler," Jones-Drew said. "That's your teammate, that's how this league works. I hope they realize I don't have any hard feelings toward Cutler. I never questioned his toughness. It's not a matter of toughness. You have to be tough to play this game.
"I don't think anyone was questioning his toughness. Some guys were questioning his body language on the sideline at the end of the game. I wasn't even doing that. I was making a joke for the Florida fans and people took it out of context."

Wait...I'm confused - so you DO want the guy that took aleague-leading 50+ sacks and kept getting up for more?
Give it a rest. You don't like Cutler regardless of facts. We get it.

As a Packers fan I would love to see Hanie as the starter, he can't carry Cutler's jock as far as talent goes. Funny how WE as fans and fantasy football geeks think we know more than the players on the team (Yes, I am guilty of it at times also). I have never heard/read a single Bears player to say anything other than Cutler is the man in Chicago.I have read that Martellus Bennett thinks they should have an open QB competition on the Cowboys so I guess at least 1 Cowboy player questions Romo's ability or heart, or maybe he thinks he should have been playing with his shoulder all jacked up, after all it was not his throwing arm.
