Boromir is called the "Captain-General," in today's terms that would be like the Commander in Chief role. He would be the head of the army commanding it, not simply a figure head.
I didn't mean to say he was only a figure head. I was saying that he was replacable as a tactician and as a general, but not as a figure head. The army of Gondor had another good tacticians and generals, but it didn't have another figure head. Or wait... maybe we could consider Faramir as one, though I'd rather not.
