So when does Cam get the 'C' Back?

The NFL rules say: "In the event of an injury to a team captain requiring them to miss one or more games during the season, a replacement may be named."

This would be the "in" for Cam.  With both Paradis and Darnold injured, they could choose to name Newton a captain.  The interesting question is whether his prior years would count toward his gold patch.

I don't think it really matters. I know people want to restore him back to old but that's not really needed. We just need him to protect the ball and let the defense be nasty. If he can give us 3 TDs a game we can win most games. Being a leader isn't needed but it's something you can do without a patch too.

It will be the gold patch.

I know we all love Cam but Cam stepping in off the street and getting the C right away.... I dont know. Im sure there are other guys in the locker rook that have been there all year that deserve it more. 

I would probably reward it to a guy that has been here all season and let Cam earn it next season.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
