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....

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
