Good point Gallagher.  I could see that as well, though I don't know how the team views his tweets about being disgruntled over the spring.  I really hope Olsen gets the nod.... he is truly one of the leaders on offense now with Smitty and Gross gone.

Don't be surprised if godfrey is a captain he may not start but he has a vocal president in the lockeroon and has shown to be team first.

As a non American: Must it be a reward for being the best player on the field to be a captain?

IMO, I don't think all of the captains have to be thee best players on the field. I think most of them do, but 1 or 2 players can be average, but true leaders by their attitude and approach. Someone like Colin Jones or even Chase Blackburn maybe could be eligible. At the end of the day, an average NFL player is still one of the best football players around.

Since the players have the majority of the input on who their captains will be, it wouldn't surprise me if D'Angelo WIlliams gets a nod this year.  With all that went on with his family the past few weeks, his positive attitude, and rapport with the teammates it's not out of the realm of possibilities.  He showed an inner strength and appreciation to the fans after the passing of his mom and that speaks highly of the character of the man.  Something we can all support.

First 4 captains seem pretty obvious... Newton, Kalil, Kuechly, Davis. It's that 5 spot that's hard to figure, they usually have one guy who is primarily a special teams player but Senn is gone.

    • The Question
      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
