My issue is him saying the coaches "told" him to sit. As if he could have still played if he wanted to...but the coaches didn't let him. If you're healthy enough to play, and you're the franchise QB, the leader of your team, in the NFC championship...how are you going to let a coach tell you to sit in the defining moment of your career? Think Tebow would have sat? nah.
And if you can limp off on your own, walk around the sideline on your own, and ride a bike on your own...then your %%$ can stand in the pocket and throw the ball with that "rocket" arm of yours. If you can't take a drop then tell the coaches to let you run the gun for the rest of the game. You have to at least try.
And even if the injury turns out to be serious...his sideline demeanor was pathetic. A leader doesn't sit on the sideline and sulk if he's truly hurt. Pump up the defense, help out your backup, watch from the sidelines and see what the defense is doing to see if you can pick something up that might help your backup. When you're a franchise QB, and a leader of your team that's what you do. His injury wasn't preventing him from doing any of those things. Yet he still sat on the sideline seemingly and probably not giving a F.
