Cutler potentially out for the year?

Broken right thumb..Chicago Sun Times is reporting could be season ending. Sorry no link, but tweet came from Rachel Nichols..

[imscott72]

Both ESPN Chicago and the Chicago Sun Times report that Jay Cutler's fractured right (throwing) thumb may end his season.
Per the Sun Times' Sean Jensen, "there is a fear" that Cutler may not play again this year, but "there will be more tests." ESPN Chicago's Mike Wright is "hearing" that there is "a chance" this could be it for Cutler's 2011 season. Wright also reports that Cutler will require surgery, so this is clearly a more significant thumb break than Ben Roethlisberger's. Caleb Hanie would take over as the Bears' starter, much to Mike Martz's chagrin.

Saw that earlier... too bad for the Bares, he was really playing his best ball.

A lot of conflicting info. Chicago Tribune now saying Cutler will miss 6-8 weeks. That means reg. season is toast at best, no playoffs at worst...(if they make it).

QBs are dropping like flies.

What a wuss. First he needs to use his knee and now his thumb. Whatever, Caleb Hanie doesn't even need to use his brain.

Brett hurt his thumb in preseason '99 (I was at the game in camp randall) and broke it in 2003 on his magical run. The '99 injury was pretty severe.

Rub some dirt on it and tape it up.

Big Ben has one too.

the 'boys are loving that info.

One of my all time favorite Brett quotes (talking about his broken thumb), "I always figured if the bone wasn't sticking out of the skin, you could play. That's what they made tape for," he said. "But maybe I'm different."

The guy is really a tool, see him on the sidelines yelling and throwing shit when his receiver fell down? Matt Flynn could play on Christmas.

Cutler is what we call, "snake bit."

He will still be able to ride the stationary bike on the sidelines
