  "account": "The Arizona Cardinals are discussing whether to make rookie quarterback Carson Beck active for game day.\nThe team has a 2-15 record over the past two seasons with quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and a negative point differential of -194.\nBrissett will likely remain the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, according to Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur.\nLaFleur told Arizona Sports that Brissett's play is either \"going good\" or a \"three-and-out machine\".\nBrissett has played all 351 snaps this season, including the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions.\nDespite the opportunity to play Beck, the Cardinals have kept him inactive.\nBeck can only play if both Brissett and Gardner Minshew are injured.\nThe Raiders activated rookie Fernando Mendoza in the past two weeks, prompting LaFleur to comment on the possibility of keeping Beck active.\nLaFleur acknowledged the difficulty in having multiple quarterbacks on the roster and said Brissett is currently the backup.\nThe Cardinals are set to discuss the issue of making Beck active on Tuesday.\nIf the team decides to activate Beck, it would be against the Detroit Rams.",
