Might not have much choice because the draft class looks pretty weak for immediate starters (I wouldn't mind a punt on Allar or Nussmeier who have been limited by bad coaching changes) and FA is also weak. It's not going to be easy to get a new starter next season.
JB NAMED AS CARDS STARTER!!!!

How though without a QB? I agree the draft looks weak, but so does FA. As things stand it's likely JB (or Kyler).
I really like what JB is doing, but can he do it for a whole season and stay healthy?
Rich Gannon was kind of that way as well. He bounced around with multiple teams with not much success. Then he landed in the perfect situation with a ton of experience and blossomed in year 13 of his career.
If the Cardinals D can continue to grow and become a top 15 defense, having a stable QB like Brissett might be all that the Cardinals need to be successful in the short term until they can find their QBOTF.
What's been impressive about Brissett is his ball placement. He's at 6 passing TD's and only 1 INT, and that INT should have been a penalty. I don't recall any passes that the opposition have had a chance at playing, his passes are always on the money.
He has the lowest INT percentage of any QB in NFL history.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
These are basement level expectations. With this, without actually making the playoffs, you would be keeping Gannon and company around until 2029 at minimum, because they get their QB in 2027 and then you have to give them a few years with the new QB.
Nah. If they aren't in the playoffs next year, they don't get that much time. Even if they are, it's still a wait and see. Hell, I'm not convinced we should bring everyone back, because why should Monti and Gannon get more time, the way they've effed it all up?

The Cardinals will be using a high draft pick on a QB next draft unless someone unforeseen hits the market.
Teams weren’t ready for the huge change in the design of the offense. Plus better QB play seemed to energize the receivers. In Dallas’ case they’re just lousy on defense.

im sorry but i just like brissett
Depends on other QBs on the roster
what other qb's, LOL
He's the ultimate game manager. Won't elevate a bad scheme/situation like the Patriots last year, but he certainly won't bring down a good one. Although what he has done the past 3 weeks goes far beyond game management, we're #1 in the league in 3rd conversion rate these past 3 weeks. If he has continued success this season that is a very good sign for MHJ.

He spelled the end of the Sam Howell experiment in 2023. Out played Deshaun Watson in 2022. For some reason Flores had him starting over pre-concussion Tua for 6 games in 2021. Started 16 games when Andrew Luck retired in 2019, went 7-9 with Zach Pascal as his #1 WR (Remember his 4 catches for us in 2023), their real #1 T.Y. Hilton was banged up most of the season.
Just a very interesting career. Certainly not the worst candidate for a Geno resurgence or bridge.

I'm all for this. He's not going to win every game from here on out, but we will resemble an NFL team at the least. What's bad about it is that I think we mop the Seahawks ND Niners if he had played. That's just me, but we were the better team for most of the day in SF and better QB play would have in all likelihood had put us in position to not relay on the defense to close out against the Hags.

you can turn brisket into steak but it will be tougher than traditional steak cuts like ribeye - unless it's cooked using a specific method such as a long low-and-slow cook or a sous vide process to tenderize the collagen
But can you turn Brissett into a starter?

Yes, I understand that. But, there’s more coach speak now than there ever has been. I do believe that Gannon has known all along that Murray would be out longer than what was initially expected, so it was easier to say what he’s been saying. And with JB playing as well as he had, it was time for JG to just come clean.
He likely is available. Unfortunately he’s a bigger version of Murray. He didn’t come out of college with good mechanics and despite the Colts best effort, he didn’t improve. As a result his completion percentage is terrible, barely reaching 50%. He throws more interceptions than TDs. College was just about as bad. He’s a great athlete and an outstanding runner. He’s a major project. If a coach could reach him, none has yet, he could be outstanding. He has a big arm, enough agility to throw on the run and he plays with energy. I’m have a low level of confidence he could be developed. He’s more interesting than the free agents, but he’s not worth more than a late conditional pick.

i think they win too many games
and i think the Saints, Jets, Dolphins all will be in a better spot to get the top 3
OTOH, I suppose we can all look forward to the 300 page Garrett Nussmeier debate thread
disagree.
we all knew this(those with functional intellects)..that we were signing a rookie head coach...and we knew there was a huge possibility for a learning curve and some serious lumps...we knew this...and its exactly what we got.
making a change at HC is balls out foolish..... why??...simple,...because then we are just starting the process all over again.
who out there available is a better HC than JG??
hint...you either know a guy is better because he has years of experience...or you dont know if he is better because he has never done the job...and if he has never done the job....your net change is zero....your actually going backwards because he has to learn the same crap JG learned all over again.
we knew when we hired him we were growing a head coach.
its balls in the wind silly to go through the actual growing pains then toss him out before we get the benefits of growing our own coach.
Bill Bilichik was 36-44 with the Browns and only had a single season with a winning record.
IMO, the biggest mistake was in allowing the rookie HC to also hire rookie coordinators...I mean, since he was a DC I can see letting him bring in another rookie DC...but in no way should he have been allowed to hire a rookie OC....similar to how kliff had an experienced DC we should have made monti hire an experienced OC to pair with Rallis...so JG had one side of the ball he could just forget about...
truth is, for three guys all doing their jobs for the very first time...with no safety net...these guys havent done that badly...I mean, expected way more, but it seems the disease from within has hampered them more than expected
