Jay Cutler talked to a reporter in Chicago and didn't offer great optimism about returning to play this season. The man has a broken thumb. Could you play with a broken thumb in 5-6 weeks? Unlikely. It is pretty safe to say that he is out for the season. If Caleb Hanie doesn't work out, the Bears need another guy. It's a bummer, but those are, the pardon the pun, breaks of the game.
We don't know how Hanie will do. Cutler said the man is feeling his way in the game. Let's hope that Hanie can weave some magic for a few weeks, so the Bears can qualify. I'd rather see them in the playoffs even without Cutler, heck, they were a good team a few weeks ago. That shows you how important the QB position is. Look at the Colts, they lost Manning to an injury and are 0-11! That is mighty tough.
