IMHO, a Captain spot needs to be earned. It serves as example to every single member of the team of what it is expected. I don't like the idea of giving a rookie that patch. I think undermines what it is it's supposed to represent.
Joe Burrow may very well end up being the leader of this offense by year's end. And by the nature of his position he kind of already is. But I don't think that's enough.
If I were a veteran I would probably being doing a double-take if a rookie were to be awarded that honor. I'm not sure that would sit well with some guys.
Keep in mind he's still at the stage where he (along with the rest of his class) would be typically made to perform in skits to entertain the vets, and to carry luggage, etc.
To each their own, but I hope Burrow isn't given the C just yet.
