Over the last few seasons the Bears have been one of the oldest teams in the NFL; They had the 5th oldest roster in 2012, the 4th oldest in 2013, and the 3rd oldest in 2014¹. The Bears kept getting older every year under GM Phil Emery, but somehow got worse record wise.
One would think a veteran team would at least be competitive, but the Bears went 5-11 in 2014 despite a veteran laden roster. The inability of former Bears GM Phil Emery to find and develop young talent was one of the main reasons he no longer is employed by the Bears.
