Would it be wise for the Cardinals to bring in a new QB?
By: Jake Rajala
To say the Arizona Cardinals quarterback spot is complex, would be a huge injustice to Cardinals nation. It was a catastrophe. The Kyler Murray experiment failed and Jacoby Brissett went 1-11 last season. Even Matt Leinart had a winning record of 3-2 in his second season. He won more games in a five game stretch than Brissett did in a 12 game streak. Nonetheless, it appears that it is Brissett’s job to lose entering this off-season.
Let it also be known that Brissett has never even had a winning record in his career. It doesn’t matter if he’s with the Cardinals, Patriots, Browns, Colts, or the Dolphins. As you can tell, he may have been hanging around Joshua Dobbs too much. Of course, Dobbs played for six different teams!
Minshew Mania had a magical rookie season, where he looked like the long-term QB for the Jags. He threw 21 touchdowns to six interceptions. Then he had a bigger sophomore slump than Jayden Daniels, where he went 1-7. Blake Bortles went further than Minshew in a Jags uniform. In 2023, he went 7-6 and threw 15 TDs to nine ints in 2019. He went to Raiders nation to die in 2024. He was given a golden opportunity and he went 2-7!
Carson Beck had a lot of success in college. He had a total NFL score of 74, which was fourth among QBs. He is the opposite of Anthony Richardson, who had a freak-ish pro day, but didn’t play “lights out” in college.
