So here I am watching Monday Night Football, it’s the Minnesota Vikings against the Chicago Bears. I really am not into the game. I am just watching it because it is the only clean thing on.
To me the thing I am taking from this game is what a man named Jay Cutler is doing. I mean this game he is doing great, but overall for the season he has stunk it up. He has thrown an NFL leading 25 interceptions. He has struggled to lead his team to win. Until a few minutes ago, Chicago had 22 possessions without scoring a touchdown. That means they can move the ball but they can’t get into the endzone. And I think you could blame Cutler for most of that. Wondering why I’m making such a big deal out of this?
Let’s rewind back to the months of July and August. Jay Cutler was a Bronco. Wait a what? Yeah, he played for the Denver Broncos. He was their franchise quarterback. Denver hired a young new coach named Josh McDaniels. Cutler wasn’t to happy about a few things there, threw a fit, and got his little butt traded. McDaniels thoughts, “You don’t want to be here, get out!”
To me this is huge. Finally a coach who doesn’t bend over backwards for his superstar player. That is what I am talking about. He whined and moaned his way out of Denver, and now is sucking it up in Chicago. Now while the Broncos are kind of in the playoff picture, the Bears are far from it, and Cutler didn’t do too much to prove he was to be worshipped and McDaniels should have bent over backwards to keep him.
Hey, I know that you have issues with people and that you need to work them out. I know that coaches can and should help players to get on the same page, catch the big picture and motivate them to be better people. But there comes a point when one must say, man up! Grow up and move on. Get with the program or get out!
