Why wouldn't he be voted a Captain?  There are not many teams in the NFL that start non-rookie QBs who are NOT Captains.

Newton was passed over until Riverboat Ron changed the rules so Cam could slide in the back door for a Captaincy in his 3rd season...

So by old standards, CMC and Moton for Offense, Burns, Shaq for Defense, JJ and Zylstra for special teams

Cam came into an offense that featured established pro bowlers/life long Panther leaders on the OL and WR spot.   I don't think it was a knock on Cam's leadership at the time.  Just like it wasn't a knock on Kalil for never jumping Gross/Smith until Ron altered the captain criteria.

 What it was, was a clear indication he wasn't top-3 on the offensive side of the ball.

Kalil still didn't "jump them"...

The changes are a slippery slope leading to a participation trophy type culture -- suboptimal.

Looks like last year was 3 on O (including Teddy), 3 on D...and 6 total.  

This year appears to be 4 on O, 3 on D, 1 special teamer...and 8 total.  

Gerrymandering at its finest!

Don't play/be so dumb. Weak attempt at subliminal message.

Saying PJ will start. That's delusional. Now if another wannabe pro league like the XFL starts back up or he goes to Canada.....maybe then. But with the big boys, he's a toddler.

[LinvilleGorge]

Did PJ learn about having online burner accounts from Teddy? I just can't imagine someone legit being this level of all in on PJ Walker.

Sam will never be a captain for this team, ever!  Dude is not captain material.

Ham it up and now this is a great looking shitposting thread with cp1 in here pouring his everlasting walker love. I honestly thought there was a 50/50 chance that Darnold would not be captain. Why, you ask? Rhule, QB coach Ryan, Brady and others have repeating said " We dont need Sam to be a leader, just make the throws. etc etc" Felt like they were prepping the team/media/fans for Sam not getting the C, tea leaves are wrong......now that they have 8 feels like they OD on naming them. 15% of the whole team is a captain??.......add this to the list of WRs and TEs of too god dam many....
