  "account": "The Arizona Cardinals have been surprising this season, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 26-14 in Week 1. However, they have since lost three straight games, allowing at least 30 points in each match, with defeats against the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Giants. Head coach Mike LaFleur has continued to rely on Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback despite his poor performance. In a recent interview on Yahoo Sports Daily, former Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart suggested that LaFleur should consider promoting rookie quarterback Carson Beck to the starting position. Leinart praised Beck's stellar preseason performance and noted that he had proven himself in college, winning two national championships at Georgia and another College Football Playoff National Championship with Miami in 2025. Beck, who was selected 65th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, showcased his potential with a strong preseason debut, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers. With Brissett's struggles and the Cardinals currently sitting at 1-3, LaFleur might soon explore Beck's capabilities as a potential starter.",
