azgreg If he is still in this form, he'd be doing an injustice to the team by not playing. It is for 'the best' players at the time.
If he would feel he could not handle both, turn the reins over to someone else....be a player only.....never choose position over playing. Got a lot of years to be named Captain again, and no doubt would be in 2 years again, if it all comes to this scenario.
I, personally, do not like the 'player/Captain' thing. That is for egotists like Arnie was.
Pick yourself, then stand aside. Play on.
