I still see no medical personnel talking about Drew Brees in that article. Agree to disagree, but the 2 injuries could be completely different. Like I said before, but you keep ignoring, is that although there are only 3 grades of MCL sprains, the middle one, a grade 2, can be on completely different ends of the spectrum as it just indicates a partial tear. That tear could be barely there or it could be hanging on for dear life to the other part of the ligament. Being a former athletic training student I have seen all 3 grades of MCL sprains and I have personally had the first 2. A grade 2 MCL sprain is one of the toughest knee injuries to diagnose. It depends on the person's pain threshold and alot of other variables. Should we crown Drew Brees king of playing hurt with an MCL tear? Cause thats what you are starting to sound like....

Jeremy Crouch had the same injury, a grade 2 sprain of his MCL, near the end of a game on Dec 30, 2006. He knew immediately there was something seriously wrong, he left the court immediately, and could barely walk to get off the court. He was out for a month recovering.
MCL injuries can be not only a painful, but if stressed further, can lead to a full tear (requiring surgery), or due to instability of the knee can lead to severe damage to the internal cartilage structures.
So for those criticizing Cutler, is JC a wimp, too?

I have been argueing that same point on both boards and I give up.....it has NOTHING to do with Cutler being a wimp and guys like Brees being tough.
Cutler didn't remove Cutler from the game....the Doctor/trainer told Lovie and HE made the call.
OK...poor wording on MY part. I agree...Bears fans were stoopid but acting, I believe, out of frustration. Bear haters were/are just hating....
The tweeters, other Pro athletes, are complete Jag bags. Dieon Sanders being one of the worst but WHY in gods name would guys like Hassleback, Jones Drew, etc., rip a fellow Pro athlete when they know full well SOMEDAY it may be them.
They probably had money on the Bears. :badgrin:
