22 starters, 3 ST specialist, 8 captains?

is it really a big deal when a third of the players are captains? 

Yes, cos there's definitely not another 30 guys after those 22 starters on the roster. They NEVER play.

Captains are a locker room thing, not necessarily a compilation of the team's absolute best players. Paradis is a veteran with a lot of starting experience in the league. Not surprising at all that he's seen as a leader in the locker room.

You mean there are intangible qualities to leadership, beyond physical ability?  Who knew...

Would have liked Jeremy Chinn more than Jackson 

Next year. He’s still only a junior.

Burns? Why he's been terrible against the run and has never had a double digit sack season but hes Pep lol

 

CMC? Not a vocal leader really quiet guy I think his boys are already gone and he's emotionally detached just getting his bread

 

Moton? ehhh he's okay he's a tackle but when has he hyped the team up? Or even made a SPLASH play showing a mean streak? Or even punishing the opponent for hitting one of our guys late??

 

Nobody on this list is gonna stick up for the team in dire situations 

Don't feed the trolls...

This may have already been said but do we know how they did it this year? Players vote? Did Rhule assign?

For you young cats, I remember a time when Jerry Richardson and John Fox tried  to make Peppers into a vocal raw raw type leader... Wanna know how that turned out? Peppers had his worse season ever! It was so bad I remember rumors going around ole pep caught a STD LMAO and that's why he was having a down year. 

But just remember you can't push a player into being a vocal captain if that's not his nature.

Some you older guys might remember all of this. 

 

Vividly. That was a strange experiment that ultimately led to him going to Chicago.

Most great players aren't cut out for "captaincy"...

 

...and that's ok.

Back when Jon Beason was on the radio saying "I know...we'll talk to him"

The patch is just stitching all that matters is how this group comes together with the game on the line. Let's get some damn wins. I'm ready for Sunday. It's been long enough.

not much leadership on this team and the names announced today confirm that but enjoy watching them lose by 20 as caption Donte gets burned again for the 5th time of the day

Come back anytime to revisit this.  

I'm sure your statements won't age well.

im a dumbshit but you've been posting topics nobody cares about since you got here lol nobody cares about ron anymore bozo move on

It’s hard to ever want to post anything on this board and becoming more difficult to read. A large portion of the people here are so toxic and unsupportive of the team I thought we all love.
