We can't be any worse now than we were when Jerry Angelo was drafting special team players, dumpster diving and neglecting the offense.

Nonsense....
They were 10-6 last year. Granted their wins were mostly against garbage but they are at least in playoff contention. Any team in the playoffs has their SB window open.

Can we stop throwing the term troll around for someone just because they make statements that people deem as stupid?

That sounds like something a troll would say.

It's not even possible to have an intelligent debate with someone who posts childish crap like this;
You think Jay "I have Diabetes and I love to sulk during games" Cutler will take you to the Superbowl and win it?
First you want to replace Bennett with a 32 "never really was a top WR type" and here your criticize your own QB in favor of just about every other one who comes into your small brain and a RB who's played through injuries at times, still played very productively, and missed all of five games in his career out of 80.
You're not a Bears fan. Not even an appropriately critical one because you criticize without the intelligence to even make reasonably workable suggestions for change. This stuff could have been written by a pouting twelve year old and made as much sense. I doubt you even follow the team because you sound far more like a Packer fan than a Bears fan and your sparse posting over four years kind of proves that.
You're a fucking troll and you need to move on and stop with the troll posts.
Let us all attack people and not the arguments that they make. Let us swear publicly on here. Look at who is shoveling it on themselves.

Frankly, I'm a bit amused by the idea that there are "windows" anymore. I get the premise, but in today's NFL rosters are NOT consistent enough to believe in "windows". And let's add the the parts are interdependent. So if one part is added or taken away it could have a great impact......but it's not just a player or two. Teams routinely turn over as much as 25% of their roster.

I'm glad somebody finally brought this point up. I totally agree with you. In fact, people seem terrified by the "r" word (rebuilding). But in reality, good teams are ALWAYS incrementally rebuilding. Otherwise they become bottom-feeders. The best teams are led by thoughtful people who continually move people in-and-out to keep strong. Not wholesale gutting, but rather cutting out the players who NEED cutting out. They do this with surgical precision.
I'm hoping Emery is the kind of guy who keeps trimming the dead weight, and adding in the new, strong players with upside - his entire tenure here with the Chicago Bears.
It's a "good thing" and not a bad thing.

It is hard to gauge a team's "window" anymore especially with the current overall parity of the NFL. But I will say the window is closing on a number of the current core players on the roster, especially on defense. Emery & company at Halas Hall haven't purged the team's roster of expensive veterans in favor of going with youth, which is a sign that any team has officially "closed the window" by giving up on their on-the-field product.
Realistically the team still has many valuable pieces in place this coming season, but much like the last two years, the team will only go as far as the starters can get us. And with the lack of quality depth on the team it could be another struggle if key starters fall to injury.
Emery & Trestman's job is to get the franchise back on track by modernizing the franchise's philosophies (offense first) & their approach (war room tactics ... that none of us will known about). With that said, and the current situation of numerous contracts expiring after 2014 & 2015, the roster in 2016 might be a radical change compared to this coming season, but in theory it will be a better fit for the system that Trestman deploys on the field.
