Today I was thinking that I should probably start thinking of the inevitable - replacing the Justin Fields pics on our messageboard page. But it occurred to me that I don't know who that is? After Fields, who is "The Guy" on this team? DJ Moore? He has 11 catches and isn't even in the top-32 WRs in the league. He has backup stats.
Kmet? LOL. Don't get me going.
Our rookie top-10 draft pick, Wright? No, he's struggling and really hasn't shown anything yet.
Whitehair because he's the "old man" of the OL? I don't think so.
It really shouldn't be a new 1st year addition to the team. So what's left? Any All-Pro's? No. Not even a Pro Bowl alternate. I just found it pretty sobering when I considered who "is" the face of this franchise now. We've got nothing... at least I can't think of one. Maybe go with Staley the Bear?

What if the older members here submit some photos of themselves or older relatives that have been Bears fans through thick and thin for decades? Preferably wearing Bears gear. At this point, the fans are the face of the franchise, especially those who have suffered through decades of ineptitude.

I second that motion. My fandom spans 55 years now.

At this point I'd say our punter Trenton Gill is the new face of the franchise.
