Testeverde Downgraded (1 Viewer)

[Gipetto]

CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers quarterback situation was thrown back into flux on Friday as quarterback Vinny Testaverde sat out practice with soreness in his right Achilles tendon.

The Panthers are hoping that with some rest Testaverde will be able to start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. If not, then the Panthers will turn to rookie Matt Moore to make his first NFL start.

David Carr has been ruled out for Sunday’s game with a concussion, according to coach John Fox.

"I wouldn't say Vinny had a setback, but it was a little sore and we elected to rest him," coach John Fox said of Testaverde.

Testaverde is listed as questionable on the injury report, and if he doesn't play then rookie Matt Moore will make his first NFL start against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

David Carr was ruled out for Sunday's game with a concussion.

Also, center Justin Hartwig (thumb) and wide receiver Keary Colbert (foot) are listed as questionable, although both practiced Friday.

Dear Matt Moore,

Please do not try to win this game. Your only responsibility is to target Steve Smith 19-22 times. Let him take care of the rest.

Dear Steve Smith,

Please catch at least 45% of the targets and find the end zone.

Dear DeShaun Foster,

You love the Falcons. Please rack up your 100 yds on 15 carries as Matt Moore has been instructed to throw, throw, throw the ball to Steve Smith.

Dear Jeff King,

Take David Carr and get lost.

Sincerely,

greenline

Testaverde downgraded...

...from cadaver to fossil

As much as I love Vinny, it bogglesw my mind they did not go after a guy like Aaron Brooks.

 

[Mr. Pink]

S. Smith owner.

Its worth keeping a watch on... if Moore can play a decent game or 2; he might be able to land the back up role next season and maybe prevent Car from picking a 1st day QB.

I guess the kid has a decent cannon which should help SS... I hope hes mobile too.

Or bring back Chris Weinke who knows the offense.

I never thought I'd say these words, but yesterday I was fortunate to unload Smith in my redraft league. Now watch Moore and Smith connect for 100yds and 2 TDs each week going forward; That would be my luck.

[Carr 2 Smith]

 

[Couch Potato]

I'd take Harrington over Carr.I'd take Tomlinson or Randle El tossing the rock over Carr.I'd take Pennington's LEFT arm over Carr.I'd give Jeff George a call. Hell, I'd give Ken Stabler a call.

Chris does not know this offense. They changed coordinators and schemes since last year.

Benching Steve Smith.

*sighs*

How pathetic this season has become.

 

[Butters]

Just knowing that Carr isn't starting HAS to upgrade Steve Smith some, right? Right?!

Vinny and Carr are to Delhomme as Brooks and Leftwich are to Vick.Brooks should go to the Falcons. Then Hall and Crumpler would have their connect back and not be so whiney.

Benching Steve Smith.*sighs*How pathetic this season has become.

You got that right. I benched him in one league and traded him outright in another.

I'm trying to trade for Smith. Hoping for another sucky week from him.

Dear Everyone,We told you so Texans' fans.

Just today I was telling a friend of mine that everyone should have listened to the Houston homers who for years was saying Carr sucked. "Naw," we said, "he has no line to protect him." Oooops.
