Tabor can't even lead his own life, much less this team. The kid is a great CB....and a punk of a person.

Good question. Right now a leader has yet to emerge. One might say partly in jest that Eddy Piniero is the leader because of his enthusiasm and ability, but if a team has a field goal kicker who is the leader then that is a team in trouble. (Nothing against field goal kickers).
Luke Del Rio just doesn't impress me right now as a true leader, a take charge kind of guy who is going to be at his best when the chips are down and the game is on the line. I don't know if you saw any of the Alabama game, but their freshman quarterback, Jalen Hurts, really emerged as a leader in the USC game. There was a scene on the side line when he was sitting in a chair and the rest of the offensive was sitting in front of him and he was holding forth like a veteran and the others were buying in.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! A player who constantly gets beat in space and then commits stupid, mental personal foul penalties is no leader (Davis). A guy who who gets suspended and constantly seems to be in the doghouse or on the edge of it can't be a leader (Tabor). In all honesty if their is a leader on defense it would be Anzalone, but since he is never consistently on the field, he is not eligible. Perhaps Cox Jr., so I would say no one.
On Offense, it would be LDR, only b/c he seems not to do stupid things on the field or off and has a grasp of whats going on and does not seem panicked. It can't be an o-lineman b/c they all get beat often and no one else qualifies.
So that leaves Eddy. A guy who has been here for 5 minutes and the only one who shows guts and legitimate enthusiasm. probably b/c it was his first game, so he can;t be the leader (yet).
With all that said the answer is obviously no one. The head coach should be the leader but will all know there is zero chance of that happening!

LDR on offense.
On defense you would think it would be Maye and Wilson but I noticed they were big timing the rest of the defense last night. I was really disappointed in this. While the rest of the defense came off the field and went to their defensive groups on the sideline Maye and Wilson would walk off separately with each other and completely ignore the rest of the defense. They kept to themselves on the sidelines. No cheering, no going over and coaching up young guys like Putu. They acted like a couple of divas too good to talk to the others. Wilson is one of my favorite players on this team but I was a little shocked to see this.

Del Rio was certainly directing traffic all night, maybe to some degree because of changes at WR. He knows the O and can carry out the plan, didn't really panic and got rid of the ball when he needed to. It's him on O, but I think there's room for improvement in that he needs to fully grasp it.
On D, it should be Davis and Tabor. Maye is another good candidate.

This.
Anzalone strikes me as a natural leader. Not sure we have one on offense, which could be a problem. You want your quarterback to be a leader, but until he earns it on the field Del Rio can't assume it. That could all change over the coming weeks.

Wether he's good or not, Del Rio is a leader. He should have calmed the offense, got the line to stop moping around and line up, but he didn't. Hopefully they point it out to him what he missed in that aspect because he epically failed.
Defense, Brantley should be one in some aspect. Davis should be one and LOL at Tabor. He's a chump with no leadership quality in his body.
