Pretty damning if you ask me.

[Ginger Vitis]

I thought Mario Williams said he didn't want to be a leader lol guess now he doesn't have a choice

[YardRat]

FJax is the obvious choice, and I think it's pretty customary to have an offensive lineman, so I don't really see it as damning.

[better days]

So do you think the QB is the Captain on every other team in the NFL except the Bills?

[justasportsfan]

Between Eric & Fjax . No surprises here. You're reading too much into this

Almost every team last year

[Night Train]

Many here are ready to rip anything Bills related. What a non-story.

" Blue towels ? Who's running this team !! "

Almost every team last year

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_team_captains

12 teams did not have the QB as captain.

That is not almost every team.

[Skooby]

Would you make the guy that's hanging on by his fingernails for his job a Captain ?

[Novacane]

5 of those 12 appoint weekly and one doesn't have captains. What do the other 6 have in common with the Bills? Their QB's haven't earned the right to be captain. So basically if a teams QB doesn't blow he's their captain.

Majority rules.

[justasportsfan]

Its not a secret that Ej hasn't earned anything. FJ may end up in the bills' WOF.

[Novacane]

Buffalo, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Oakland, Minnesota, and Tampa are the only teams with permanent captains that don't have a captain QB. What do those 6 teams have in common?

Unproven head coaches?

QBs that blow or are totally unproven. Anyone who can't see that and steps up to bat for EJ is a moron.

Agreed when a team has a GOOD QB he is most likely made a Captain, but EJ like many others has not earned it yet.

I agree. WGR 550 is harping on this right now. When/If EJ steps up he'll be a captain. Until then it's not surprising that he's not.

[sudzy]

Remember the year the Bills made JP captain and he was on the bench week 4?

[stuckincincy]

Teams vote in six (!) Captains. Reminds me of today's schools with their honor roll quotas... :maggie:

Some things never change... Accuracy has been a consistent issue for years.

I'd be more concerned if he had been given the C. Its unearned. Lead by example.

[BillsOverDolphins]

How funny would it be if Orton was named a Captain instead?:rofl:

[more cowbell]

Losman and Edwards were both voted captains..........

Blow = unproven? I think you need a new thesaurus.

the last time something like this happened TB cut Josh Freeman in week 5... after benching him in week 4. there was a lot of controversy around him not being voted captain before the season with a few of freeman's friends claiming the coach rigged the ballot.

Pretty simple if you ask me. EJ Manuel has played in 10 NFL games. He's still practically a rookie.

[BillsImpossible]

What's interesting is how CJ Spiller is not a Captain.

That's pretty damning if you ask me.

Why?

Fred Jackson is the vocal one.
