Vinny Testaverde's NFL Career Not Quite Done yet

Believe it or not, Vinny Testaverde is back on an NFL Roster.

Vinny Testaverde won the Heisman Trophy the same year his new Carolina teammate Dwayne Jarrett was born. He was the No. 1 overall pick eight years before the Panthers entered the NFL.

He's thrown more passes than have been thrown in Carolina's history. He's also nearly four years older than his offensive coordinator.

Yet the soon-to-be 44-year-old Testaverde -- the man nicknamed "Dad" by his new teammates -- could start Sunday for the banged-up Panthers at Arizona.

This move really suprises me. Vinny Testaverde always seens to come back as a backup on an NFL Team. Who's next to come back as a quaterback? Could an NFL Team use the Canadian Football Dropkicking skills of Doug Flutie? Would another team attempt to get that cannon arm of Drew Bledsoe out of retirement? Heck, you might as well give George Blanda a call and see if he wants to come back and play for a 27th NFL Season. Okay, I'm kidding on that last one, but I'm sure you get my point. "Grandpa Vinny", as I like to call him, needs to retire and stay retired. I know all of you Vinny fans are gonna say, "Well, at least they got somebody." Surely, they could have gotten an undrafted Free Agent off the roster, not Vinny Testaverde.

Vinny Testaverde will get another contract to warm the pine for a more deserving rookie. Come on Vinnie, retire already!
