The body language thing with Cutler has been well documented. It's not just a fan overreaction, anytime you hear an analyst talk about the guy, they always bring it up. That and the fact he's not known as being a leader.
Heck just this morning on Mike & Mike they asked Herm Edwards if he would want him as his QB if he was coaching. He mentioned the body language and his crappy attitude, and how he's not the type of leader he looks for. He did say he loves his talent though.

Love listening to Herm Edwards and he was 100% correct. Cutler's body language is so pathetic. Great talent but he's got some Jeff George in him. Chicago isn't going to win with him.
Kind of off the subject but some guys you'd have to kill them to get them out of the line up. As annoying and Hollywood as Joe Theismann was, you had to snap his leg off to get him outta there. Phil Simms was the same way. Just a few examples.

How do you guys know what he's doing on the sidelines? You see what 10 secs of Jay Cutler footage on the TV and assume he's doing that the whole game. You guys are worse than the media and Chico you are spewing up talking points from idiot media pundits. Body language? As a person who's studied body language, I can assure you that 99% of the people out there have 0 clue as to being able to read body language on a whole. The problem is the guy doesn't give a shit about the media (much like Barry Bonds), and he gets crucified in the process. Purely sickening.
Also, to have a guy like Deon Sanders question heart or toughness is beyond laughable. This is a jackass that didn't tackle and told others he was paid to break up passes, not tackle. Guy is a complete asshat and probably should shut the **** up.
PFT Live: Boomer doesn’t question Cutler’s toughness | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/24/pft-live-boomer-doesnt-question-cutlers-toughness/)
Actually what I was trying to say is his demeanor, body language is just who he is and like Matty commented, its very well documented. My point was that how he carries himself should not be confused with his toughness in this situation. Sure I agree the media has 100% has gone overboard with this story, but that really nothing new...question is does Brady, Big Ben, Farve, Peyton stay out of the same game, same injury?
I think what is really fueling this story is not the media's overreaction for once, but how his fellow NFL players reacted so strongly before the game was even over. That's what is so interesting.

Kinda torn here becuase I'm old school ....play till it falls off or put dirt on it and it will get better school!Yet all we have to do is see how teams and Doctors of teams and trainers are all under scrutiny now ,I think the person people should be looking at is Lovey Smith............if it was his call and I'm hearing it was....he needs to come out and say something.
Like I said before the doctors are given the final authority to decide who stays out and who gets to go back in. With Cutler, after he came limping off the field the training staff tried to treat him after which they had him attempt dropping back on the sidelines before letting him go back to play. Cutler was unable to plant his foot properly, along with other test led the training staff to believe that Cutler wasn't fit to come back into play. Based on the grade 2 MCL tear/sprain that was discovered after the game the doctors made the right choice.

It has been reported from years ago when Cutler was on the Broncos, that players on other teams and some on Cutler's own team felt that Cutler's past behavior was childish, poor and really lacking in class. Bad karma is a bitch. Cutler did not just fall off a turnip truck and is getting this poor treatment. He earned it by behaving like a child.
That being said it should not be happening to such a degree. The guy losing game the way he did and crying in the press conference and getting slammed in the press is enough. Let the guy lick his wounds.
