Why wouldn't he be voted a Captain?  There are not many teams in the NFL that start non-rookie QBs who are NOT Captains.

Newton was passed over until Riverboat Ron changed the rules so Cam could slide in the back door for a Captaincy in his 3rd season...

So by old standards, CMC and Moton for Offense, Burns, Shaq for Defense, JJ and Zylstra for special teams

Cam came into an offense that featured established pro bowlers/life long Panther leaders on the OL and WR spot.   I don't think it was a knock on Cam's leadership at the time.  Just like it wasn't a knock on Kalil for never jumping Gross/Smith until Ron altered the captain criteria.

 What it was, was a clear indication he wasn't top-3 on the offensive side of the ball.

Kalil still didn't "jump them"...

The changes are a slippery slope leading to a participation trophy type culture -- suboptimal.

Looks like last year was 3 on O (including Teddy), 3 on D...and 6 total.  

This year appears to be 4 on O, 3 on D, 1 special teamer...and 8 total.  

Gerrymandering at its finest!

Don't play/be so dumb. Weak attempt at subliminal message.

Saying PJ will start. That's delusional. Now if another wannabe pro league like the XFL starts back up or he goes to Canada.....maybe then. But with the big boys, he's a toddler.

Ham it up and now this is a great looking shitposting thread with cp1 in here pouring his everlasting walker love. I honestly thought there was a 50/50 chance that Darnold would not be captain. Why, you ask? Rhule, QB coach Ryan, Brady and others have repeating said " We dont need Sam to be a leader, just make the throws. etc etc" Felt like they were prepping the team/media/fans for Sam not getting the C, tea leaves are wrong......now that they have 8 feels like they OD on naming them. 15% of the whole team is a captain??.......add this to the list of WRs and TEs of too god dam many....

    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
