Cam wants the "C" per Person

[top dawg]

Cam seems to be maturing according to reports. He wants to earn the captain tag according to Joe "People" Person (lol).  He may have to wait his turn which may not come for a while because of Gross and Smitty in front of him.

 

Just the fact that he is walking like a captain and quacking like a captain this offseason bodes well for the future. He seems to be "getting it".  Just another reason for optimism. Nice to have happy thoughts, right? 

 

 

 

“I recognize – and everyone knows around the league – when you’re a team captain that’s not just a patch on the jersey. You’re holding yourself to a higher standard with being accountable,” Newton said. “I’m going about it each and every day and trying to make that happen.”

“Team captain is solely based off of your peers,” he said. “I’m going about it each and every day, trying to do my part to prove not only to my team, but first myself, that’s a big responsibility on the field and off the field.”

Was just going to post this, top dawg is fast.... Gotta love the positivity, expectations are being raised daily...

[Kakarot]

I would like to see him as a captain as well, but I doubt he gets it with Smith and Gross still on the team. Sometimes, I question Smith being a captain though.

[BelgianPantherFan]

He really is maturing. He wants to give the example, take his reponsibilities and do everything to carry this franchise to the top level. Damn our future looks bright.

I could see Smith or even Gross pass the C to Cam, being they both know Cam is the future of the franchise. Would be an awesome gesture.

Great to hear!

[FootballMaestro]

Didn't Cam say all this during the recent press conference video, I expect most of us watched, read about (with all due respect to the poster and Person)?

[TopCat]

So when he doesn't get it because of Gross and Smitty lets not be surprised when the media starts writing stories about how his teammates still don't believe he is a captain.

Great to hear!

 

 

I agree.  But, Kalil's comments in the article were interesting.

[Darth Biscuit]

It is good to hear that he wants that... I just hope he's not too disappointed if he doesn't get it.  Smitty and Gross have been around a long time and have earned their places.

I think it is great that he "wants" it.  But, coming out publically and saying that he wants to be Captain is a little odd to me.  Can be construed as lobbying for it.

 

No need for him to talk about it.

[Jackofalltrades]

He said it at his presser, didn't know this was still news.

It was on PFT today.

He was asked a question, and he answered it by saying he wanted it. But you are right it probably will be construed as him demanding it or lobbying for it by retards.
