Did you watch the play? By all accounts, Talib was attempting to calm Todd Davis down, who then took exception to it and shoved Talib. I wouldn't want him to date my daughter- but being a captain isn't about that. It's about being a locker room guy and that is exactly what Talib is. The guys respect and admire him, he has their backs and he's a vocal leader. That's what a captain should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Why is there even a discussion about who deserves to be a captain? The players voted. We don't know better than the players. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about this play from last season.. where he pushed his teammate when his back was turned. Like I said I am fine with Talib being a captain. I just find it odd you don't think Sanders should be because of his body language while you're fine with Talib being a captain who has shown to not be the perfect teammate you make him out to be. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, we can't see what happens in the locker room but certainly there are interviews and reports that come from the locker room. I mean if there is a thread, a discussion can take place. Shoot, I recall last year there was reports the locker rooms were at a divide, there surely was a discussion then, don't see why there can't be one now. Anyways, like all differentiating opinions on these forums, we can continue or just end it. I am fine ending this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think he's a perfect teammate but it's telling that the team voted him in. I think it was a good pick. Either way, I'm fine with agreeing to disagree.

AnAngryAmerican Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Talib is a leader, he's vocal, he's a veteran, he's been to Pro Bowls, he's an All-Pro. We can take issue with a few things, such as the push of Jordan Norwood, but you can't argue on those other points. I'm a little surprised that Talib was chosen over Chris Harris Jr. but I'm not surprised he was chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are around each other every day. Nobody deserves it more than the five players voted captain, because their teammates vouched for them. If Emmanuel Sanders or Chris Harris or anyone else deserved to be captain, they would have earned more votes. There's nothing to second guess, unlike the game itself.

elliot878 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm all about CHJ, but I love the Talib pick as a captain. It's challenging him to be mature, and to lead by example. Will be interesting to see what he does with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
