Replace the four oldest guys with players 10 years younger and the Bears would go from third oldest to about sixteenth. Just eyeballing the list of teams I don't see a clear correlation between youth or age and success. It isn't a useful measure of anything.
5 youngest teams - Rams, Browns, Bills, Seahawks, Jaguars.
5 oldest - Broncos, Lions, Redskins, Cardinals, Bears

Bold = playoffs. Red = 5 or fewer wins.
Two things:
a) What a worthless thing to rank teams by.
b) SIX DAYS TWENTY-TWO HOURS EIGHT MINUTES UNTIL KICKOFF

It's more about the age at the position. It doesn't matter that Gould is 32 since he can kick until he is 40 most likely. QBs tend to age well especially a guy like Cutler who will probably get better as his physical skills diminish. You don't want to be old at LB and CB especially. Those are young guy positions.
For the Bears, Ratliff, Tillman, Briggs, Garza, DJ Williams, and Holmes will all be gone after this season. They will get young in a hurry after this season.

On this website being entirely dependent on older players with virtually no young talent is not a problem.
In the real world, the Bears are about to see their entire roster blown up over the next two years and the entire staff fired if the 2014 draft doesn't pan out.

Phil Emery looking for another long snapper a week before the season starts. He cut another player without a viable alternative /replacement

Since you are a blogger, and thus, providing fans with over and above information, what I would find more interesting is what is the average age of our players this year versus last?
Did we go from 5th to 3rd because we swapped many of our young players (who sucked) for slightly to much older players or did other teams just become much younger than us? Is the average age about the same?

To me, that shows that Emery has balls of steel. He probably thought that if he cuts the crappy LSer, he has to find a better replacement. The Angelo's of the world would keep the crappy LSer on the roster, kick a few tires, and eventually say that the crappy LSer is good enough, and then start whistling Dixie.

The "cut player" he was referring to was Mannelly.

Quick recap. Emery is terrible for not resigning Urlacher, Hester, and Mannely. But he's also terrible because we don't have a really young roster.

I'm sorry, when you tell me the difference between the oldest and youngest team in the nfl is less than 2 years I begin to think that those numbers are completely irrelevant.

Just another stat that means nothing. What now? Build a correlation between age and play-off performance?

Well considering Emery was supposed to help,rebuild this roster through the draft and this team has been in need of an overhaul to get younger and more talented I would call it a concern. You can't be on a cycle of three year windows and then completely rebuild one side of the ball as a result of age, it's a recipe for disaster.
On average it takes a team overhaul three years to come together and become fully relevant, in three years Marshall, Forte and Cutler may be completely irrelevant to this franchise while the defense is finally coming together with guys like Fuller Ferguson Sutton Bostic and Greene. Now you have to rebuild the offense with guys heading into the final year or two of their rookie contracts. It's not how you build to be dominant.
