For me, leadership and learning the skill sets of how to lead men are most important for Cozens (or anyone else for that matter) before he can be earn the C. He has some natural leadership traits (rare), but he needs to be mentored under a seasoned leader (see Okposo) for a couple years before he will be ready for that important and weighty mantle.
We should have learned our lesson with the former captain who shall not be named. ; )
Talent does not equal Leadership.
