As David Carr points out, it’s the sports journalists who have created this so called "QB controversy" in Carolina. To me it’s a no-brainer much less a controversy. Mainly because John Fox is very consistent in how he reacts to these situations. He will be very evasive and noncommittal to add another dimension to the Colts game preparation. The fact is if David Carr is healthy he gets the start and here’s why.

First he’s the incumbent starter. If Foxy sticks to his usual mantra then the starter gets his job back when he’s healthy.
Second, Vinny does not have ten starts in him.

The Testaverde bandwagon is rolling, as it should be. Before it gets out of control and fans anoint him as the starter for the rest of the season, there's something they should know. If you saw Testaverde walking (and we use that term generously) in the locker room after the game, you would know that's not what the Panthers want.

Sure, he is in great shape, but he's 43. He was a great solution for one game and he could be effective in short spurts the rest of the season. He doesn't have 10 starts in him.

Foxy doesn’t want to risk losing another QB by playing Vinny too much. I perish the thought of having to dip once again into the thin QB FA pool now. Vinny might be fine for the Colts and maybe even the Titans but then he will start to tighten up.
David Carr is obviously younger and in my view runs the offense well enough to win. Prior to his back injury he’s been very reliable and is certainly more mobile then Vinny.

The media may want a controversy to write about. It’s much easier to create a controversy than to actually do some research about the team. Don’t let it distract you. David Carr will start against the Colts.
