Peete spent two years
as a backup in Oakland and one in Washington. He started his career with
Detroit and also played for Dallas and Philadelphia. Peete has been
troubled by a sore finger much of the year.
Rodney started 14
games, including all seven of the Panthers victories, and was inactive
for two others. He completed 223-of-381 passes for 2,630 yards and 15
touchdowns with 14 interceptions to compile a 58.5 compltion percentage
and a 77.4 quarterback rating. In addition to establishing single-season
career highs for starts, pass attempts, completions, passing yards and
touchdown passes, he ranked fifth in the NFC with an average of 6.90
yards per pass attempt, guided an offense that tied for third in the NFL
with 51 pass plays of 20 or more yards and did not throw an interception
during six of his starts. With three 300-yard passing games, he recorded
one more 300-yard passing effort than he totalled in his previous 13 NFL
seasons. Rodney did not play in the first two preseason games while
recovering from an offseason knee injury and saw action in the final two
preseason games at New England (8/23) and at Cleveland (8/30).
