Carr, Testaverde play the waiting game over Oct. 28 start
CHARLOTTE - If the Carolina Panthers have a difficult decision to make at quarterback, you wouldn’t know it from listening to Vinny Testaverde and David Carr on Wednesday.
They’re the two at the center of speculation and fan sentiment that’s sure to drag out for at least another week. With his team on its bye week, coach John Fox has declined to say if Carr or Testaverde will be the starter Oct. 28 when the Panthers host Indianapolis (5-0).
If Carr and Testaverde know anything, they’re not saying, but both have been around long enough to know they’re the talk of the town.
“That’s what this is all for, the circus,” Carr said. “When you guys (in the media) make that decision, let me know. I’ll be on the edge of my seat, I’m sure.”
Fans might have to stay on the edge of their seats, too, because it’s possible Fox doesn’t know which quarterback he’ll choose.
A week after signing, Testaverde said he’s still learning the playbook. Carr’s still trying to get his back healthy after the Oct. 7 game.
The Panthers don’t have to announce an injury report during the bye week, but Carr, who sat out Sunday’s victory in Arizona, sounded optimistic.
“I would say that there is a 100 percent chance that I’ll be ready for Indy,” he said.
That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll get the start. Testaverde’s performance in Sunday’s 25-10 victory has fueled speculation the Panthers might put their offense into the hands of a 43-year-old who was unemployed a week ago
