The Great American Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Panthers to start Brian St. Pierre on SundayBrian St. Pierre, a 31 year old quarterback with five career pass attempts that was out of the NFL until two weeks ago, will start for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.John Fox announced the decision to a somewhat stunned Panthers press corps.“This is not a joke,” Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald wrote on Twitter. “This move is impossible to justify. Fox offered “it is what it is.” Seen a lot of crazy stuff here over the years. Nothing quite like this.It’s a little like when the team brought back Vinny Testeverde to start, except Testaverde had a very long track record of success. St. Pierre was chosen over sixth-round rookie Tony Pike.From an outsider’s perspective, it doesn’t seem so crazy in the context of this deeply depressing Panthers season. Jimmy Clausen is apparently out. Is Pike the quarterback of the future? No way. If St. Pierre gives the team a better chance to win against a veteran Ravens team, it’s only fair to the other 52 Panthers to play him this week.UPDATE: Terrell Suggs was asked what he knows about St. Pierre by WNST: “I know how to get after his ***.”Sounds like Fox has had enough and is going to tank it the rest of the year. With a few more moves like this one they can go from flat out awful, to just plain terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0D3RNW4RR10R Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 They're not cool enough to call in a insurance salesmen and make him their QB like one particular team :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yea, I agree. Fox is pretty much throwing his middle finger up to management with this one. He knows he's done and I'm sure he's not happy with the way they've done some things so this is his way of getting back at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
