Arizona Cardinals reveal development plan for QB Carson Beck
As the Cardinals' third-string quarterback, opportunities are limited for Carson Beck. Here is how Arizona is focusing on his development.
The Arizona Cardinals face a challenge in developing their third-round rookie quarterback, Carson Beck, due to limited opportunities on their scout team. This team receives only 32 live reps on Wednesday, 36 on Thursday, and 20 on Friday, with backups typically receiving no practice time once the season begins. Beck, despite his rookie status, offers long-term upside at the quarterback position, with head coach Mike LaFleur acknowledging his need for additional reps to develop.
To address this, the Cardinals have devised a plan to split scout team reps between Minshew and Beck, recognizing that Gardner Minshew has more NFL experience than Beck. Beck appreciates the opportunity to practice against the Cardinals' own defense, describing it as "invaluable" for his development. Although Beck missed two weeks of practice due to a rib injury sustained in the Hall of Fame game, his performance in previous weeks has been impressive, including a no-look touchdown pass.
His coach and teammates are confident that his development is progressing well under the new plan, with Beck feeling he is back to where he was in August before the injury.
