Mike LaFleur Confirms Jacoby Brissett as Starting QB for Cardinals

Following the Arizona Cardinals' 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos, head coach Mike LaFleur announced that Jacoby Brissett will remain the starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys on November 1. This decision comes amid discussions among fans about potentially replacing Brissett with rookie Carson Beck.

LaFleur defended Brissett's performance, noting that the offense has been able to advance the ball effectively, having reached the red zone ten times in the last two games. However, the team has struggled to convert these opportunities into touchdowns, scoring only once during those trips.

Despite Brissett's current statistics, which place him among the lower ranks in the NFL for passer rating and adjusted QBR, LaFleur emphasized the need for the entire team to improve execution. He stated that there are no immediate plans to evaluate Beck in live game situations, indicating that Brissett will likely continue as the starter for the foreseeable future.
