It seems as if many articles have in fact forgotten that he played through his leg injury. We all saw the play, it looked like he was most definitely done for a couple games, 1-2 at the MINIMUM.
He played through it, the kid is tough. There were moments in the games where he was in deep pain, but he played through it. I remember Ramsey getting his helmet on too.
I guess players don't get enough credit for playing through injuries...i.e. Champ Bailey and Dre Bly.
However, I'm sure most of the NFL players play through unreported injuries...
Anyways, hats off to Jay Cutler for not being a pussy.

He also gets little to no credit for turning water into wine. What can you do though, East Coast bias.
Give him credit... then make it #1 priority to go out and get him consistent protection before the hit really knocks him out for a game... a season... his career.
Our first priority this year should be putting a stable situation at tackle for Jay. I feel we will be fine at guard and center... probably two of the deepest positions on our roster. We need to get help at tackle before our franchise QB is dismembered.

Plus, the typical development time is longer for OL. Luckily, the average career lasts longer too.
We just need to put some bluechip players there. Thats the bottom line. Interior guys can get away with being slower, or flying under the radar. There is a reason that grade A tackles get paid.
We need somebody that will erase opposing players. I know Pears is not that guy. Never will be. I hope Ryan Harris will be solid for us but i'm highly skeptical on his talent and his durability. Back issues as a rookie? Oh lord.
We finally boned up and made landing a few dominant DE's our #1 priority last offseason in the draft. Now, we should do that same on the OL and hope to god that we sign Corey Williams if he becomes available. Cutler's health should be the #1 priority this offseason.

After i seen that hit on his leg, i thought he was in real trouble.
But seeing him on the sideline not in any real pain, it was a huge relief off of me.
In the Tennessee game he showed no ill affects.

Not only that but Denver has been hit harder by injuries than a lot of teams yet from watching coverage, youd think the Colts are the only team that has been hit hard by injuries. The Broncos have been hit harder than the Colts have.

He's played pretty damn well in his past 2 games.
