Let's just hope he can act like a captain on the field and not do any stupid s**t.

Perhaps making him captain was one way for Singletary to help him keep focused on the "team" while he is on the field. I really like Davis and think he has a great chance this year to put it all together for himself.

I am a little surprised though, considering the coaching staff have openly admitted this is going to be the Frank Gore show.

IMO it doesn't make sense to be captain if you can't run routes and you can't catch.

Its a good move by singletary because by placing more responsibility on the kid and making him captain of the team, he will have to be looking out for the good of the team, not just himself

it's a common tactic used in team-building.

We use it in the Corp works as well. Task a disruptive team member with an authority role.
