Peete

The Panthers say they are confident either could get the job done if called upon.

“I won’t announce depth charts typically until I have to, and that’s about an hour and a half before kickoff,” Fox said. For what it’s worth, the team’s web site lists Peete as the primary backup.

Delhomme broke the tip of his thumb and may rest until later in the week. Peete hurt Muhsin Muhammad and Keary Colbert’s fantasy value if he somehow got in the lineup.

He’ll serve as the backup or No. 3 quarterback.

Peete was the backup last year.

There may have been an injury involved here, but it appears Chris Weinke has the upper hand for the No. 2 job.

Nothing like a 40+ year old QBing your 2-7 team.

The team is expected to re-sign Peete for cheap as their No. 3 QB.

Chris Weike will be No. 2, while the Panthers develop former Pittsburgh QB Rod Rutherford on the practice squad.

Because there’s a lot of stability with that gig. Carolina is surprised and disappointed by this decision. Peete was supposed to battle for the backup QB job in Carolina. Peete played 109 games for 6 NFL teams, including a playoff win as an Eagles starter in 1995.
