    Actually, they still haven't named him the starter. Trubisky refused to say he was the starter even after being named a team captain.

    Has the backup QB ever been a captain when the starter was not? For any team? Ever? In NFL history?

    Of course, he is going to start. Tomlin removed all doubt when he played Trubisky the entire first half against the Lions. If there were any chance Pickett would start, he would have gotten some playing time with the first team in the last exhibition game.

    My point was that he was not named the starter when they announced the team captains.

    "You can assume anything you want," a smiling Trubisky said when asked if he will start against the Bengals, via Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. "The announcement will come out when it comes out, but you're not going to hear it from me. We're just going about our business."

    Captain was done by player vote. Last time I checked, players don't decide or name starters

    Lol the Narcissist. Worst gimmick ever. Didn't get better for Lex either because almost immediately they switched to Lex the All American and the bus tour. I find it funny that he hated the bus tour and flag waving.

    The Lex Express. I loved that era of wrestling.
