How will Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears recover from their
mental breakdown?

For anyone who tuned in and watched the NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers & Chicago Bears, it had to have you wondering, who would take the bigger hit, Jay Cutler who seemed as if he was never into the game at all, or the Chicago Bears ( Coach Lovie Smith, the team Doctor, or the team's Trainer who made it look as if they had no clue how to handle an injury to their franchise Quarterback.

Right from the start you could see Jay was not mentally on his game,( missed on a few open passes, had bad body language, seem to be calling out receivers for running the wrong routes ) Did not look as if he was very comfortable on the big stage. Now being nervous and shaky is understandable, knowing this is his first time in a game of this magnitude. But looking disinterested and almost totally unemotionally invested in the game is something to be concern about.

Anyone who watched the Bears play last season, can't question Jay Cutler's physical toughness as a quarterback ( over 50 sacks ) but the mental toughness can and should be called into play here. It's not the fact that Jay got hurt in the second quarter of the championship game, and had to be pulled. It was how easy he let him self be taken off the field in this!! Game.You are playing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl, yes I think you need to show your fans, you will have to be carry off the field, and that you are physically unable to finish the game!

You could see Jay had a limp, and was having a hard time throwing the football, but there was never any indication given it was that bad. The only information fans were given was Jay hurt his knee and was provable for the second half. So when he plays one set of down and is taken out of the game, what is a fan suppose to think? That's where Bear's management comes in, they did nothing to tell or show fans how hurt their quarterback really was ( no ice, no brace, no crouches, and no trainers around him to show us he may be hurt bad ).

The tweet's came fast&furious, lot's of Players taking their shots at Jay, the guys calling the game not knowing what to think or say. Fans burning his jersey, what were people suppose to think without the proper lines of communication in place. Now with that being said, Jay has to responsibility for his lack of mental toughness and team leadership skills. He needs to take ownership of his team, you saw none of that in the game. You could not tell one way or another that he cared he was not in a game that could put his team in the Super Bowl.

I'm not a Doctor and will never claim to be one, but you don't need a PHD to see that Jay Cutler mentally gave up on his team. His coaches and teammate all stood up for him, and all said the right things, but there is no way he can easily recover mentally from what took place in that game. While I don't think Jay Cutler deserve the criterium of not being a physically tough quarterback, I do think his mental make up is weak. The Bears management on the other hand had a total mental breakdown in that game, and to a man should be held accountable for hanging Jay Cutler out to dry.
