Saying Dez and Oscan should be captains is like saying Joseph Randle and Greg Hardy should have been captains. I think you will see Dak and Jones

What a dumb comment.

So exactly what has Dez and Scandrick done compared to a coked up borderline psycho and an underwear thief that is too crazy to be in the league?

The fact that both of these guys have been in the league, on the same team for 8+ seasons says it all.

It's par for the course around here, Rob. Sad, huh?

To be fair, I did love the Kraken. He's no team captain, but damn if we could use him. His DL loved him, too. But he doesn't galvanize a team the way Lee, Dez, Dak, etc do.

Sorry to disagree but I think there's a distinct difference in character between Randle/Hardy and Dez/O'Scan. The players will more than likely know who to go with. The best leaders usually get their due recognition. Anyway, the Cowboys have plenty of deserving guys to pick from.

Give Dez the C and watch him develop that much more.

I think it would do wonders for him. He's already a leader, might as well give him the label.

Is he still late to meetings? In 2015 he was late to 20 plus meetings according to local reports. I didn't hear those reports last year so maybe things have changed.

I would be OK with it if he is following the rules now, but I have no way to know for certain.

My choice would be Dak and Zeke.

I think Dez getting the C would propel him into that direction. I think he would take it to heart, X, and bleed that C patch.

I don't know of any meeting issues last season, either, brudda.

I think it would too, he definitely seems like a guy that responds well to positive re-enforcement

I agree 100%

I think he would totally take it to heart, something like that would mean a lot to him.

Zeke moved to corner? Because that's the only way you could have them both (need one offense and defense). In that case we should have taken Jalen.

The Dallas media, being who and what they are, would likely have jumped on it if Dez kept showing up to meetings late. To be sure, that's what they do best, year in and year out. One little slip-up and they're onto it like white on rice!

Moreover, the players will always know about it beforehand when they vote. It seems pretty likely to me that they wouldn't elect anyone captain if they didn't abide by the rules like everyone else. I've got a feeling they know exactly who to respect with their votes and who not to. :)

I like the direction Dez has been going, but when was the last time he got in trouble for taking plays off?

Captains don't do that, if it's been a few years then I'm fine with it, but I just don't remember.
Besides, why don't we have 2 captains and call it a day.
To be fair, the coaches take Dez out of games more than Dez does. That's the kind of things a genius like Garrett does.

I'm all for Dez being a captain, but there are only so many badges that can go out. Dak as the franchise QB should have one, so who is going to lose one then?

Don't have an issue with making Dez a captain, per se. But it's a problem if you pass up your franchise QB -- the guy who is supposed to lead the offence -- in favor of a WR who, while intensely competitive, displays the characteristics of a prima donna from time to time (as all WRs seem to do).

So no to Dez if hes late for meetings but yes to Zeke whos in the middle of an investigation for DV? No, you have no agenda at all do you?

You're reaching.

Zeke has been cleared legally. The NFL is just screwing around keeping that open.

And there is no actual proof from anyone in the Cowboys org saying Dez was late to meetings. So......
