New QB1 in AZ? Why Cardinals should give Carson Beck chance to start | Opinion
Jeremiyah Love is the best player the Cardinals drafted, but Carson Beck is the most intriguing. Arizona should give him a chance to earn the starting spot.
The Arizona Cardinals are attempting to heat up their offense. Arizona used its first three draft selections on offensive players – running back Jeremiyah Love (No. 3 overall), guard Chase Bisontis (No.
34 overall in the second round) and quarterback Carson Beck (No. 65 overall in the third round). Love was arguably the best player in the draft.
The versatile running back is the type of weapon the Cardinals offense is in desperate need of. Yet Beck is the most intriguing. Beck became the third quarterback selected in the draft one of four overall through three rounds – and he wound up at a destination void of a franchise quarterback.
He joins a quarterback room with Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew II and Kedon Slovis after the Cardinals parted ways with Kyler Murray. It’s a mediocre – at best – group of QBs that Beck is now united with. Brissett was the leading candidate to start coming out of the NFL’s owners meeting, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on April 17 that Brissett is disgruntled about his current contract and opted not to attend phase one of Arizona’s offseason program.
