Okay, Maybe It’s Not As Bad As First Thought

Well, even though our beloved Panthers were forced to pull 43 year old Vinny Testeverde off the proverbial couch and throw him into the first immediately, he came through for us and guided the Cats to their 4th win of the season.

The play that broke the game open was a 65 yard completion to All-Pro speedster Steve Smith, which helped Vinny set a record by throwing a touchdown pass in 21 straight seasons.Â Wow.

Get the full run down on the game HERE.

Now This….

As if the rocky financial and home markets aren’t enough, now we have to deal with the loss of Jake Delhomme for the season.

Wow, what a blow.

Let’s just hope the Panther’s offseason acquisition of David Carr can pay dividends now. It certainly hasn’t looked all the promising the last 2 games, but now that Delhomme’s officially on the shelf for the season, maybe Carr can quit looking over his shoulder and just play like the 1st pick of the draft he’s supposed to be.

Jake Delhomme last week called surgery onhis strained right elbow “a last resort.”

After experiencing pain trying to throw on Monday, the Carolina Panthers quarterback decided the worst-case scenario couldn’t beavoided.

Delhomme will have season-ending ligament-replacement surgery onhis elbow next week, leaving the Panthers without their leader onoffense and scrambling to find another quarterback.
