Panthers coach John Fox announced Thursday that Brian St. Pierre, not rookie Tony Pike, will start against the Ravens in Week 11.
Perhaps the opponent weighed into the decision, with Fox opting not to throw a rookie to the dogs against the Ravens defense. Regardless, it speaks ill of Pike's showing in practice Wednesday. St. Pierre has only been with Carolina for a week, so there's no way he has the playbook down. Poor Steve Smith has had to salvage seasons with David Carr, Chris Weinke, Vinny Testaverde pulled off his couch, and now a 30-year-old practice squad QB. Bench all Panthers in Week 11.
