Pretty simple question, do you think the team will vote Cam as a captain?

Yea you have guys like Smitty and Gross, one would have to lose it, but when you have a QB this good, they're normally a captain.

So does it happen this year or going into next?

Can't see it getting beyond that

Cam Newton & Jordan Gross will be the offensive captains, in my opinion. That's in no way a knock on Steve Smith. I don't think he's been a captain in the past because of his vocal leadership. In my opinion it was more of a sign as to how much his teammates respect & admire him. Anyone close to this team knows that Gross has been a cornerstone player & leader for many years now. Cam is a natural born leader & you could tell this was his team from day one. His teammates all gravitate towards him. Pair that with Ron Rivera's numerous offseason remarks praising Cam saying he is growing into the leadership role & it's fairly obvious. I think Cam & Rivera both wanted him to get through his rookie season then come in this offseason & really step up as the undoubted leader. In my opinion that's exactly what will happen between now & week 1.

Jon Beason is the undoubted leader of the defense. If I had to guess I'd say Gamble gets the other Captain patch. If not him either Johnson, Davis, or Anderson. Not too sure to be honest.

i could def see smith sort of donning the captain title to cam.

Smith has always been a badass....not much of a history of being a real leader. More of a loner that gets the C out of default

First off... Damn it took awhile to scroll down to somebody with at least 1000 votes... Lots of new people here.

Secondly, this is a joke right?

He'll get the C this year. My feeling is that both Gross and Smitty will argue about who will give their C up... Friendly argument of course. This is a no brainer! I'm a little disappointed in anyone that thinks otherwise quite frankly

I see guys like Gross and Smitty passing the Captain's reigns over to guys like Cam and Kalil. On defense I really see Gamble and Beason holding the Cs. IMO they should, anyways. ST's is a mess, the only incumbent we still have is Jansen lol I don't see a long snapper holding the STs C. Perhaps someone like Tolbert taking the STs C.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
