By Ralph Ventre PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer <div class="pre">EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) - Reuben Droughns didn't</div>look overly comfortable with his new team, but backupquarterback David Carr sure did. Carr, who came on for starter Jake Delhomme at the end of thefirst quarter, led the Carolina Panthers on two scoring drivesin a 24-21 victory over the New York Giants in the preseasonopener for both teams Saturday night. Carr, a former No. 1 overall pick of the Houston Texans, threwfor 83 yards and a touchdown on 6-for-8 passing in his Carolinadebut. Acquired to bolster the running game with the retirement of TikiBarber, Droughns carried the ball five times for 17 yards. Hislone catch of the night, a 32-yard screen pass from JaredLorenzen, set up Derrick Ward's five-yard touchdown run. Carolina starting running back DeShaun Foster was very effectiveduring his limited playing time, rushing for 62 yards on fivecarries. Brandon Jacobs, who will take over Barber's starting role,rushed for 15 yards on four carries. Trailing, 14-10, after Ward's score, Carolina saw its new backupquarterback execute the two-minute drill to perfection. Carrneeded only four plays and 47 seconds to drive the Panthers 73yards for a touchdown. Carr's 23-yard scoring strike to Taye Biddle gave the Panthers a17-14 advantage with only seven ticks remaining beforehalftime. Biddle found the end zone again in the third quarter when he andthird-string signal caller Brett Basanez hooked up for an85-yard score. Both starting offensive units reached the end zone. Carolinadid so first when Delhomme's five-yard touchdown strike to SteveSmith capped off an 81-yard drive. Ward returned the ensuing kickoff 67 yards, giving Eli Manningand the Giants' offense a short field. Manning took advantageof the opportunity, completing two third-down passes - with thesecond one being a seven-yard touchdown hookup with tight endJeremy Shockey. Manning, who was playing without starting wideouts PlaxicoBurress and Amani Toomer, was 3-for-5 passing for 29 yards andone touchdown. Delhomme connected on 5-of-8 passing attempts for 30 yards andone TD.
