Id rather LD Ladoceur be a captain than someone on defense.

2 offense, 2 defense, 1 special teams. Not everyone gets a ribbon in the NFL.

I think Witten and Bailey are legitimate leaders for their respective groups.

Dez needs to be on that list; Most passion on the team.

You can have six captains, where they come from is up to the team.

Romo and Witten being offensive captains makes sense. They're the OGs of the offense. Dez is considered a team leader even without the C. Murray, too, and I'd hazard a guess that Carr and Scandrick are too.

He's also the defensive play caller. That probably contributed.

I will just come right out and say it...I am not a fan of ANYONE....other than Romo...that were a part of the Ratliff, Ware, Miles, Witten, Bradie James, Newman core. As I have said many times....GOOD organizations do NOT keep guys together this long...that do not win. Now since the QB of this team...plays the biggest role in whether we win or lose...AND he has performed...I am OK with Romo being here. But I am OK with all of those guys being gone...and Jerry better have the stones to move on from Witten if this turns out to be another non-playoff year. Didn't Spencer (under DeMarcus watch) talk about how he did not take practice seriously? And we know how much of a clown Martellus Bennett was under Jason Wittens watch. Listen...winning teams...with WINNERS...they don't let coaches and scheme and disengaged teammtes keep them from their goals. These type of things do NOT happen with Micheal Irvin or Emmit Smith on the team...with the Ray Lewis of the world. Forget the head coach...the Players would not allow someone to admit they don't take practice serious. I mean for DeMarucs....he needs that guy opposite of him to ball out...to limit how many double teams he see's! Ware, Witten, etc...not impressed. Don't care what kind of numbers they put up...they were paid handsomely for doing so...but if you want to be an ALL Time Cowboy great...make other's better!

I stand corrected. I always thought it was 2/2/1 because that's the format most teams use. I would have name Dez a captain atleast 2 years ago then

I've always thought of Jason Witten as a great player, a leader on the team, a guy off the field you admire because he's charitable & represents the team with class.
I get tired of him at times propping up Tony because of their bromance but nobody forces me to read all that so I just expect it from him. He's got Tony's back all the time.
Out of all the guys currently on the team he'll be the one I will hate to see no longer playing. But that's just me!

Dez will be a captain next season after the ink on his new contract dries.

I'd like to have seen Dez become a captain this year & I also thought maybe Harris would make ST captain. I still dont like Durant, Would have prefered scandrick even with the suspension.

Sorry...I will never have many fond memories of this era of Cowboys football. Only frustration....not accusing you...but I don't think many fans really understand how futile it has been. I think the Commanders, Cowbys and Lions are the only NFC teams to not play in the NFC title game over the last 15 or 20 years. That proves that the NFL is setup for everyone to at least have a chance every now and then. And for an organization like Dallas...that has probably played in the most NFC title games during the Super Bowl era...to be in a 20 year drought...is indicative how bad it has been. I mean Eugne Lockhart racked up like some ridiculous number of tackles...I think Derrick Hambrick did as well...not saying Ware, Romo, Witten are not better than these guys...but wha I am saying is that all the stats will not leave much of impression for fans that remember the Cowboys winning since as far back as the 70s
I respect Witten...I respect what he has accomplished. But how impactful has he been as a leader?

I'm not really sure how to answer that question because off the top of my head I can't say I've read many quotes, if any, of Jason being this great leader. I am sure some have but I don't recall.
My opinion of him is just reading how charitable he is & of course seeing how great a player he has been.
I get what you are saying though. I've said many times I envy fans who got to see the really great Cowboy teams. It must have been a lot of fun to watch those guys rolling to those SB's,

You need to play well to be a captain.

Dez would be a captain, but the two offensive captain spots are locked up and aren't changing anytime soon.
Either way, the whole captain thing is an internal system of reward. It doesn't affect the product on the field and it doesn't affect the fans.
