The Bears prefer Campbell to McCown, just like any sane and rational person would, but the Bears chose to have only two quarterbacks on their roster at the start of the season (Cutler and Campbell), so if Cutler can't play on Monday they would effectively have no backup. I know they signed some rookie who's on their practice squad, but I'm guessing they don't have enough faith in him to carry on if Campbell also goes down.

As for why they didn't just keep McCown, I suspect it's a combination of wanting to use that roster spot on somebody else, and simply not wanting to guarantee him a veteran salary for an entire season (which they'd have to do if he was on the roster for Week One).

I see, that makes sense.

Regardless of who starts in Week 11, the Bears are going to lose. Therefore all this doesn't matter much.

You sure about that the 49ers looked very beatable this week plus the Bears defense already won multiple games for them so far this season.
