Now, maybe it doesn’t mean that much since QB’s like your boy Sunshine and Zach Wilson were also named captains as rookies (and both have been completely terrible), but no - - not all rookie QB’s are just automatically captains so they can “control the huddle.” Dalton was not a captain as a rookie. And I only brought it up because Fred argued it wasn’t going to happen with Burrow either. But anyone that was even remotely familiar with him knew he would be.
That's why I said most not all.
But when you are the rookie QB being brought to a team with a young head coach and they just dumped the veteran and are going in a new direction, you are 100% going to be a captain.
Most of the time when a rookie QB isn't a captain, it's due to strong leadership elsewhere on the team. The Bengals certainly were lacking in that during the transition phase.
My point with Goff is that, just because a guy is a captain doesn't mean he is a good player. Not saying that Joe isn't great, he has really come into his own now as he gets further and further away from the injury.
Also, you are arguing with Fred.... you know how that is going to end, yet you are still doing it?
