Gardner Minshew Selected as Cardinals' Starting QB; Jacoby Brissett Demoted to 3rd String
- Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur named Gardner Minshew the team's starting quarterback on Monday, promoting rookie Carson Beck to backup and demoting Jacoby Brissett to emergency third string.
- During Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, Minshew replaced Brissett in the third quarter and threw for 188 yards and three touchdowns, sparking a 33-30 overtime victory.
- Brissett completed only 10-of-23 passes for 119 yards with an interception before benching, while Minshew, signed to a $5.75 million contract in March, provided the spark.
- Promoting Beck to the backup role accelerates the rookie's development through additional scout team repetitions, which LaFleur described as "the right thing to do."
- With the November 10 trade deadline approaching, Brissett has become a potential target for teams needing depth; LaFleur remained noncommittal on his future with the club.
