He's a great guy but I feel like you also have to lead by example on the field and he hasn't produced much in the last couple years to be worthy of captain. If that makes sense

I disagree. He has been serviceable since his "Big Money" days, got cut, and came back to a team he seems to really enjoy playing for. The team knows better than I do, but he sure seems like a captain.

I'm sure a lot of guys like him on and off the field. This would probably be a different conversation had he not taken that pay cut but he only has 5 sacks in the last 2 years/22 games.

Voted on by the players right?

Yup. I'm not disputing the player vote. Like I said before they know better than I do. I was merely playing devils advocate saying I don't see why someone would automatically assume CJ would lose his patch. While not spectacular, he has been a solid player for this franchise for a long, long time.

It was an honest question.  I wanted to make sure before I started in on something.

As long as the players pick I got no beef with it.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
