Vinny and the Cats! (1 Viewer)

Actually, I think it would be great. Look what Vinny was able to do with smaller receivers like Coles/Moss/Chrebet. Face it- can't be worse than Carr-wreck

Could be great for Smitty

 
Wow! I hope this is a very bad joke. :lol:
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=...&id=5699807QB-needy Panthers agree to deal with Testaverde10/10/2007 6:36 AM - Vinny Testaverde has agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers, pending a physical.

Vinny Testaverde has agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers, pending a physical, ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting.

The 43-year-old quarterback is expected to be on the practice field Wednesday.

He had an opportunity to sign with the Arizona Cardinals, but he chose Carolina because of the proximity to his home base on the East Coast.

Jake Delhomme, who started the season as the Panthers' starting quarterback, will have season-ending elbow surgery next week.

Delhomme's backup, David Carr -- now the starter -- is also banged-up.

Carr, signed in the offseason after being a five-year starter in Houston, sustained a back injury against the Saints and his status for Sunday's game at Arizona is uncertain.

The only other QB on the roster is undrafted rookie Matt Moore, who completed a 43-yard pass against the Saints while briefly subbing for Carr in the first half. Quinton Porter was signed two weeks ago to the practice squad.

The top overall selection in the 1987 draft, by the Bucs, the much-traveled Testaverde has played with six different franchises during his long career. He has completed 3,693 of 6,259 passes for 45,281 yards, with 270 touchdowns passes and 261 interceptions, for an efficiency rating of 75.2.

In stints with Tampa Bay (1987-92), Cleveland (1993-95), Baltimore (1996-97), the New York Jets (1998-2003, 2005), Dallas (2004) and New England (2006), he has compiled six seasons with 3,000 or more passing yards and four years with 20 or more touchdown passes.

Chris Mortensen covers the NFL for ESPN. Information from The Associated Press and ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli was used in this report.

 
Not a joke at all. If you've watched David Carr this season, then you understand how a Panthers fan, or Steve Smith owner, would be excited about Vinny's signing.

 
So the Panthers will have the following:

1987, 1st Round, 1st Pick Overall - QB-Vinny Testaverde

2002, 1st Round, 1st Pick Overall - QB-David Carr

That's 15 years apart man....

Has a team ever had two 1st overall pick QBs on its team at the same time?

With a little help from Wiki...Anyone know which of these QBs might have been on the same team at the same time?
1944 - BOS - Angelo Bertelli (Boston Yanks)1946 - BOS - Frank Dancewicz (Boston Yanks)1948 - WAS - Harry Gilmer (Washington Redskins)1952 - LAR - Bill Wade (Los Angeles Rams)1954 - CLE - Bobby Garrett (Cleveland Browns)1955 - BAL - George Shaw (Baltimore Colts)1958 - CHI - King Hill (Chicago Cardinals)1959 - GBP - Randy Duncan (Green Bay Packers)1963 - LAR - Terry Baker (Los Angeles Rams)1970 - PIT - Terry Bradshaw (Pittsburgh Steelers)1971 - NEP - Jim Plunkett (New England Patriots)1975 - ATL - Steve Bartkowski (Atlanta Falcons)1983 - BAL - John Elway (Baltimore Colts - traded to Denver Broncos)1987 - TBB - Vinny Testaverde (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)1989 - DAL - Troy Aikman (Dallas Cowboys)1990 - IND - Jeff George (Indianapolis Colts)1993 - NEP - Drew Bledsoe (New England Patriots)1998 - IND - Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts)1999 - CLE - Tim Couch (Cleveland Browns)2001 - ATL - Michael Vick (Atlanta Falcons)2002 - HOU - David Carr (Houston Texans)2003 - CIN - Carson Palmer (Cincinnati Bengals)2004 - SDC - Eli Manning (San Diego Chargers - traded to the New York Giants)2005 - SFO - Alex Smith (San Francisco 49ers)2007 - OAK - JaMarcus Russell (Oakland Raiders)

Not since the merger, although Testaverde followed Steve Young in Tampa and preceded Bledsoe in Dallas.

Steve Smith owners rejoice!
Someday you may. As amazing as it sounds, Vinny will feed the ball to Smith. However it will take some time and more patented David Carr sacks, fumbles and losses before Vinny can take over.
