Should Cardinals start Carson Beck after impressive preseason debut?
Beck put on a show in the Hall of Fame Game
Former Georgia and Miami star Carson Beck faced doubters upon entering his NFL debut. Despite these critiques about his mobility and passion, the third-round pick showcased his talent in the Hall of Fame Game. Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers. His ability to throw accurately, both on deep balls and a touchdown pass, highlighted his skills.
The Cardinals possess a quarterback dilemma, with starter Jacoby Brissett entering his 11th season and posting career-highs in touchdowns and interceptions in 2025, while free agent signing Gardner Minshew remains uncertain. Beck's performance in the preseason demonstrated his potential, but the team will likely keep Brissett as the starter for the beginning of the season.
Arizona's bye week offers an opportunity for Beck to prove his worth in multiple games against strong NFC West rivals. As the Cardinals look to build for the future under first-year coach Mike LaFleur, this late-season start for Beck could reignite intrigue surrounding his role in the team's future plans.
