ESPN.com has released their weekly Power Rankings, and the Carolina Panthers have moved up four spots in the rankings, to #13. The Panthers continue their love affair with the middle of the pack, as they have ridden a roller coaster up and down between number 11 and 20 nearly all season. The inspired play of Old Man Football helped the Panthers to a win last week, but how long can VinnyT last? Will Testaverde’s 44-year-old body hold up for the entire season? Will David Carr come back anytime soon? Do Carolina fans even want him to come back, after last week’s game?
Honestly - and I never thought I’d be saying this in the year 2007 - I think Vinny Testaverde gives the Carolina Panthers the best chance to make the playoffs. The man is in amazing shape. Not only for a man his age, people - Old Man Football is just simply in great shape. Plus, he’s still got a cannon where his arm should be. That winning-TD bomb he threw to Steve Smith was absolutely unbelievable from a man his age. On top of that, he provides all the intangibles that Carr doesn’t have. He gives your team leadership, direction, confidence, and poise. Ride VinnyT to into the top 10 in the Power Rankings and into the NFL playoffs, Carolina fans. It’s not just a great story, it’s your best shot at success.
