But I still say that pre-game speeches are not the basis for choosing a captain.  There is much more to leadership than that.  In fact Burrow, Bynes, and Bell were all elected captain without ever giving a single pre-game speech to the team.

Leadership is about what happens all through the week and in the huddle on game day.  Not just 5 minutes before a game.

You’re hung up on just the pregame speeches, but it’s also the personality in general. You better be REALLY good if you’re an aw shucks nice guy type if you want to be taken seriously.
