You think giving Cam a "C" will help him become the leader that he should have been last season, but I think it will only stunt his growth as a player and leader. You never know the impact of telling a young player that "he's already proven enough" to be the "official" leader of the team. It can make him stronger (with Cam, this is very possible, no doubt) or it can make him spoiled, impatient, and stubborn. I wouldn't risk it.

Cam isn't an ordinary 2nd year player, I know. He can very well make the most of the opportunity, but he's the kind of player who's smart enough to know this is a locker room that respects their veterans and that he doesn't need a patch to lead this team anyways. Him not getting a patch doesn't make him think the team wants to downplay his presence as a leader. He's not the kind of dumb player you'd find on other teams who thinks his squad slapped him in the face for not giving him a patch and is already talking to his agent about getting out of town when his contract is up.

I actually prefer this idea of showing Cam he still has plenty more to prove before he can earn a patch. I think this will only serve to fire him up this season while making sure he still respects the veteran talent on the team.

I didn't realize Cam was a rookie?

Why was Beason a captain in 2008?

Like I said, no biggie....that would have just been my preference.

I am not saying that it must be that way. Hell, I would think Cam would be a great Captain.

I jsut know that most teams like veterans as captains.....showing the young guys how to do everything in the league.

      I’m actually fine with our TE group. I would like to see us upgrade at ILB, maybe safety and CB.   I think we are good at WR. I thought Corley could have been a good player but I guess he wasn’t doing good at all.   I came across this article about Corley from today. I know sometimes a change of scenery can really help turn around a player and we’ve seen plenty of players from the jets end up being good other places. I just don’t know if Corley is that guy.   https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/jets-insider-shares-embarrassing-fact-about-malachi-corleys-release-2119816

      Renfrow released

      I was really rooting for him after seeing that video about his struggles. I always thought he was a solid and underrated player.   I thought for sure he would have made the team after hearing all the hype and how he made that overthrown catch by Plummer behind the line and still was able to gain a yard or two off it. Plummer really overthrew him each time yet he was able to still not lose yards. I think he still could play in the nfl. I think he may need a few months to get into top form though. Hopefully he will get signed to another team.
