I agree. I don't think it has much affect on their play or carries any weight with the officials, but I'm sure every player who has been chosen to wear a "C" is proud of it. Plus bestowing the "C" on young QBs like Campbell and Trent Edwards is a vote of confidence which can mentally help a young leader.

I think the designation of a special teams captain is cool, too. A lot of casual fans may not truly realize the importance of teams, so this is a good way of saying it really is a third of the game.
