The Arizona Cardinals are sitting at a dismal 2-5 right now, and their fans are absolutely tearing their hair out over how they got there. What was expected to be a bad defense has somehow gotten even worse than anyone thought, while the offense that was supposed to show some improvement? It’s basically flatlined. This team is stuck in neutral, and the numbers don’t lie.
The Offense Is Stuck, Same QB, Same Problem
You want to talk about frustration? Look at the offensive output. Jacoby Brissett, who’s been under center, has led an attack that feels painfully familiar. Back under Drew Petzing, this offense was averaging 21 points per game over 12 games. Now, with Mike LaFleur calling plays, it’s a nearly identical 20.3 points per game in 7 games. That’s the same quarterback, and the same result. It’s no wonder fans are losing their minds when the team’s record is 2-5. You can’t win consistently in this league putting up numbers like that.
When, Not If, For Carson Beck?
Given the stagnant offense and the brutal 2-5 start, it’s not surprising that fan confidence in the Cardinals’ direction is absolutely cratering. The real question being asked across Arizona isn’t *if* they should move on from Jacoby Brissett. Nope, the conversation has shifted. Now it’s all about *when* Carson Beck gets his shot. Fans want to see what Beck can do, to get an actual, real evaluation of his talent, or frankly, his lack thereof. The team is in a spot where they need to figure out their future, and that means putting the young guy out there.
While Cardinals fans are grappling with their uncertain quarterback future and a season that’s spiraling, our own Seattle Seahawks are showing them how it’s done. We just pulled off a solid 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s a good reminder of what winning football feels like, and what we in the Emerald City have to look forward to.
