2012 Team Captains Announced

[megadeth078]

You think giving Cam a "C" will help him become the leader that he should have been last season, but I think it will only stunt his growth as a player and leader. You never know the impact of telling a young player that "he's already proven enough" to be the "official" leader of the team. It can make him stronger (with Cam, this is very possible, no doubt) or it can make him spoiled, impatient, and stubborn. I wouldn't risk it.

Cam isn't an ordinary 2nd year player, I know. He can very well make the most of the opportunity, but he's the kind of player who's smart enough to know this is a locker room that respects their veterans and that he doesn't need a patch to lead this team anyways. Him not getting a patch doesn't make him think the team wants to downplay his presence as a leader. He's not the kind of dumb player you'd find on other teams who thinks his squad slapped him in the face for not giving him a patch and is already talking to his agent about getting out of town when his contract is up.

I actually prefer this idea of showing Cam he still has plenty more to prove before he can earn a patch. I think this will only serve to fire him up this season while making sure he still respects the veteran talent on the team.

Man you guys will find a way to argue about anything. Team captains are ... team captains. Who really gives a poo?

arguing on a message board?! Outrageous!

[kornicova]

How many years have Smitty and Gross been captains now, at least two for both of them? It was always gonna be hard to take it off one of them and give it to Cam.

[Montsta]

The players vote on the Captains. Therefore, whomever received a patch is EXACTLY the right person(s) to have received it.

[nctarheel0619]

Cam loves his o-linemen. Hell, he probably voted for Gross as a captain.

Arguing about the captains?

Wow. Never thought I'd see that.

I have zreo problems with who are captains, and who isn't.

It's not about who is irreplaceable.

Why people acting surprise like they didn't know Cam wasn't going to be a captain?

The proper tense for what you are trying to say is "Why are people acting surprised"

But I wouldn't expect you to know that either.

[MadHatter]

I didn't realize Cam was a rookie?

Why was Beason a captain in 2008?

Like I said, no biggie....that would have just been my preference.

I am not saying that it must be that way. Hell, I would think Cam would be a great Captain.

I jsut know that most teams like veterans as captains.....showing the young guys how to do everything in the league.

Same captains for our offense is good. Maybe after another year or two Cam will be one for sure.

3 Linebackers as captains just shows how much talent we have at the position.
