Chicago Bears fan survey 2025: Ben Johnson's arrival, Caleb Williams' next step

The Bears' upcoming 2025 season is generating significant excitement, especially with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson and a bolstered offensive line. Given this shift in dynamics, punters may be inclined to bet positively on the Bears’ performance this season, anticipating an improvement from last year's struggles.

At this time last year, this survey dubbed it the “Summer of the Chicago Bears.” Then the fall and winter happened.

Fortunately for the 2025 Bears — and the fans — this isn’t your normal team that had to fire a coach in season and bring in a new staff.

The intrigue last summer was very high, with increased expectations, the No. 1 pick at quarterback and HBO’s “Hard Knocks” in town.

Is the intrigue even greater now? Ben Johnson comes to Chicago with more fanfare than just about any head coach in recent memory. General manager Ryan Poles dramatically bolstered the offensive line. A very good defense returns nearly every starter.

Welcome to our sixth annual fan survey, which is now on its third head coach. Only two players remain on the roster from the first survey — tight end Cole Kmet and cornerback Jaylon Johnson.

How have feelings about quarterback Caleb Williams changed from last summer? Which new players excite fans most? When will the stadium situation get resolved? It’s time to get your thoughts ahead of 2025 training camp — results will be posted next week.
