Vinny Testaverde May Play in 08

Someone inform the good people at EA Sports that they may need to dust off and update the Vinny Testaverde character from earlier generations of their John Madden football game.  According to this report out of the Charlotte Observer, Old Man Football is mulling a return in 2008.  If Vinny does indeed decide he’s like to come back and play another season, he would become the oldest QB to play in a game, were his services needed by whichever team would take him.  Testaverde would obviously be coming in as a reserve, and might even come back to Carolina, as his relationship with the Panthers this season has been solid.

While it remains to be seen whether or not VinnyT actually does return to the game, I believe that he should definitely come back for one more season.  Even if it’s just to get a quarter’s worth of work under his belt and become the oldest quarterback to throw a pass, I believe it would we be worth it.  Vinny Testaverde has proven his durability.  He has played and won in the NFL this year.  What he is doing is nothing short of remarkable.  Why shouldn’t he come back one more year and immortalize himself with the record?
