Listening to his press conference, it was difficult for me to gauge whether or not he was anticipating coming back this season or if he was just trying to lay the ground work for what may be the end of the season for him. He did say on Waddle and Silvy later that he could technically play with pins AND screws in his thumb and told them that his cast was already off because in his words "My thumb can't go anywhere anyways." Hopefully the bone heals properly and he can start throwing in another 2 weeks and then try and build his strength up enough to give it a go in the Vikings game to shake the rust off before the playoffs (If we even make it that far).
Bottom line, if Cutler can't go, we might as well just fold the tents a build up better draft position. This team won't win any playoff games with Haine as their quarterback.
