He's more promising than Beck, but that's not saying much. In retrospect, would have been much better to use a top 90 pick on someone else, and then a 4th or so on Sorsby, but here we are.

Talk about being hypocritical, ESPN guys blasting Sorsby, and then running a ton of gambling ads. Mostly, Draft Kings.

There are a few issues with signing Sorsby.
1 - You have to carry him on the 53 man roster or another team will just sign him off your practice squad. That means you carry either 3 or 4 QBs for the year, and if you carry 3, Minshew, Beck, and Sorsby is a very questionable mix.
2 - How do you manage Beck, a 3rd rounder, giving up a 2027 2nd 3rd or 4th for Sorsby, and then using a top 10 pick in the 2027 on a QB as well? I am not sure how you navigate that other than just wasting a lot of picks.

It would be a really strange move for the Cardinals to make.

Can’t believe people are even talking about it as a strategy.

LMAO...you have been finishing your responses with general negative sayings.
And it hit me....You're like a really bad Confucius Says guy...LOLOLOLOL
I wonder how much Sorsby has wagered on this?
Well, the Vikings do need a QB...
Zing!
Yeah it makes zero sense to take Sorsby who already has red flags. The Cards used the #65 overall pick on Beck, which is one pick away from being a 2nd rounder. So they clearly liked him enough to take him that high. Taking Sorsby at this point would mean he comes in already behind the curve. How would the Cards be able to figure out what they had with 2 rookies right before a critical draft in 2027.
It just make zero sense unless they are "following the Browns model", which no one has said ever.
did sorsby declare for the supplemental draft - cuz i thought they said he could go back to school
if he's choosing the draft over school I'm guessing he might know who wants him and where he might be going - idk - i haven't been keeping up

Nope, never
Michael Floyd (WR, 2012, 1st Round)
While at Notre Dame, Floyd was suspended for most of the 2011 offseason after a DUI arrest Arizona Cardinals. He also had three alcohol‑related police incidents during his college career, including another DUI ESPN. These incidents were part of the background that drew attention from NFL teams before the Cardinals selected him
Tyrann Mathieu (LB, 2013, 3rd round)
Mathieu was drafted after missing the entire 2012 college season due to failed drug tests and an arrest. Despite these issues, he played well for Arizona and had no further off‑field problems ESPN.
Robert Nkemdiche (DE, 2016, 1st round)
Nkemdiche was picked late in the first round after dropping due to a drug‑related incident at an Atlanta hotel during his final college season. He also had a history of substance abuse issues, but he has remained clean since joining the Cardinals ESPN.
Jalen Thompson (S, 2019, Supplemental Draft)
Thompson’s draft situation was unusual because he entered the supplemental draft after losing his final year of college eligibility at Washington State. The NCAA cited a violation involving an over‑the‑counter supplement that contained a banned substance Arizona Sports+1. This led to the loss of his senior season and prompted him to enter the supplemental draft, where the Cardinals selected him in the fifth round
Walter Nolen (2025, 16th overall)
Nolen, a defensive lineman from Ole Miss, was considered one of the top defensive prospects in the 2025 draft. However, before the draft, reports from outlets like Albert Breer and Jeremy Fowler described him as “entitled” with questionable “practice habits” and raised “maturity concerns”

Yes. The situation changed
Ironic that all of the players we dabbled with who had alcohol or substance abuse issues were all drafted while we had a GM who couldn't handle his own alcohol issues. I think his closeness to Michael himself was the only way he got away with some of those picks. He likely had to argue/fight to make some of them.
Floyd showed some flashes but ultimately got cut after getting a DUI. Surprise, surprise.
Honey Badger was awesome and benefitted from having former teammate Patrick Peterson already on the Cardinals as an accountability helper.
Nkemdiche was a huge bust.
Jalen Thompson was great during his time here.
Walter Nolen has already shown flashes but needs to stay healthy so he can be on the field and productive.
We are in the midst of Idiocracy while quickly speedrunning toward a future somewhere between Terminator and Cyberpunk 2077.

why is that?
I certainly hope they wouldn't pass on Sorsby, or any QB talent because of Carson Beck, Minshew, or Brissett. That would be very Lossenfortesque.

I'm guessing you wouldn't be using a 2027 1st rounder on a QB and it frees them up to take a top player at another position. If Sorsby has a 1st round grade, I'd have no problem taking with a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Although, it would likely have to be a 2nd.
And, who cares about managing Beck or Minshew? Teams need a top QB to win. I keep hearing his skillset is that of Jay Cutler. If he's not a douchebag like Cutler, I'd take that talent in round 2 every day.

1. Pretty sure we won't put in a bid.
2. My guess is the Jets will get him with one of their three 1st round picks.
3. If he works out and Beck doesn't there will be ONE LESS QB needy team in the 2027 Draft.
