It's pretty easy for me to. Winning these next 2 games does nothing to help you achieve the ultimate goal, winning the Super Bowl. All it does is weaken the team long term if Lovie is kept.

I know and I fully understand, but I really like these players. We are witnessing the end of some of the greatest Bears to ever play for the organization and its hard to root for them to lose. Peanut, Briggs, Urlacher....its the end of an era and its hard for me to want them to go out with a historic losing streak.

I'm torn. I want to roll the dice in the playoffs. I also know if we make the playoffs and lose, we're ****ed for years to come.
Bears are built to win now ,, McClellin was a terrible reach and even if we switch to a 3-4 there is no guarantee he will be any better
And it is alot easier for a DE from college to adjust to NFL level then a QB so Peyton's 1st year struggles on terrible team weren't a shock
When dozen's of defensive players are outplaying your 1st round pick (19th overall) ,, It is an issue
Well even the greatest DE of all time that is the 2nd coming of Christ Chandler Jones wouldn't have changed anything about the outcome of this season.
The issue with this team isn't just the personal and adding 1 good pick wouldn't have changed anything with this team.
Emerys job is to not only try to win now but also build for the future. Again I am not about to judge a pick on half a season. McCellin could be a great fit in the 3-4 that Emery plans to run next year and in 4 years suddenly we are talking about McCellin being a good pick.
A draft is for building the future of your team, not trying to change your team in the same season. You aren't drafting a player and hoping in that same year he turns your team around at 19 or anything after the top 5. Let's not kid ourselves and act like any pick made this year changes anything about this team, that's nonsense.
That is alot of value ,, Imagine Peppers/Wootton/Jones/Idonije in rotation
Jones is also capable of playing both 4-3/3-4 ,,, There is no reason that he shouldn't have been Bears pick
Since when does Marinelli value players who are absolutely worthless against run? Bears got rid of Anderson because he wasn't getting sacks and was a liablity in run D
McClellin looks alot worse then Anderson ever did with regards to run D
Still absolute horrid logic for a GM to draft a guy who doesn't fit current coaches scheme because he may someday get a coach who has a 3-4 system
If Lovie's team didn't fold this year ,, He would have likely gotten an extension thus making Emery choosing 3-4 guy based on plans to someday not have Lovie idiotic
There is just no explanation that makes any sense as to why Bears wasted a 1st rounder
And Sarava explain to me how my views on McClellin are any different then yours with regards to Kevin Hayes/Emerson Etem
I wanted Chandler Jones and it has been proven blunder by Bears
You wanted Etem and we went with Hayes ,, Verdict still out there
Whoa relax - I wasn't taking either side on the McClellin argument. I just remember at the time he was drafted that that was speculated. Because he seemed undersized for a 4-3 DE. If I had a to take a side I'd probably take your side in that I would have probably went a different direction.
But if you're going to compare Kevin Hayes - remember he was drafted 2 1/2 years ago, not 6 months ago.
