A read on our captains for this coming year

[Soul Rebel]

Don't know if this has been posted, so my apologies if it has.  Just speaks to who the Panthers could name as their captains for this year.  Some obvious guys and also a couple of replacements for Smitty and Gross.

I think that's exactly who the team captains will be.

Hmmm.... I thought that too, but then looked at last year's captains - Gross, Smitty, Kuechly, Newton, Davis and Kalil.  

 

I also think Tolbert could be a dark horse candidate, but who would he replace?  

[Ivan The Awesome]

Cam, Olsen, Johnson, Kalil, Kuechly. Davis if not Olsen.

I'm not sure Greg will be a captain.

I'm not sure Greg will be a captain.

 

You could say that if both Steve Smith, and Jordan Gross were still with the team. Not now though. Olsen is a pretty likely candidate. Greg is an important contributor to our team, a high character family man, and is also a good presence in the local community here.

Well, I think Cam, Kuechly, Davis and Kalil are locks.  As for the other two - IMO, it would come down to CJ, Olsen, Tolbert, and maybe Colin Jones if they add a ST guy.  Maybe Gano as a far left field choice, but can't see him over Olsen and Johnson.

Cam, Olsen, Johnson, Kalil, Kuechly. Davis

 

This seems like it would be the most obvious.

 

Also, worth noting for those that are mentioning it, we didn't have a special teams captain last year.

We didn't last year.

Jordan Gross, Steve Smith, Thomas Davis, Ryan Kalil, Cam Newton, and Luke Kuechly. Some suspected Rivera changed it up in order to get Cam on. No way he was taking Gross' or Smith's spot.

Cam, Olsen, Johnson, Kalil, Kuechly. Davis if not Olsen.

So only five captains? And what did Davis do to lose his C?

Hmm I wonder if Hardy will ever step into CJ's role, I would imagine so.

If Hardy cleans up his image and is the DE that remains past '14, then yeah, I could see it.  Thing is... the C goes deeper than just talent - so if you're getting caught up in salary disputes and legal stuff off the field, no room to be the captain.

Yeah exactly, thats what I was thinking about. I could see him being a leader, he's similar to CJ in that respect and seems to have learned from him. He still may need a tad more control with his temper on the field. He constantly looks amped up to the limits to me. There's no dial down knob with him it seems.
