Bottom line is, yearly, weekly, daily captains won't change a slow kid into a fast kid and won't make a bad tackler a good one. So, sure it is nice to "glorify" it one way or the other and mention that "in the past Wistrom and Peter blah blah blah, but, it really doesn't work that way. Look at all those amazing players that Wistrom and Peter were playing with, being a captain was easy because you did not have to do anything except make sure the guys on the team did not get totally wasted at the bars on the weekend or at the very least, just not get caught.
