Cardinals’ embarrassments hopefully not preventing Carson Beck from being active

It’s been a season of discontent for Cardinals fans.

They raised money to purchase billboards imploring Michael Bidwill to sell the team. Over 800 more have signed an online petition asking him to do the same. Meanwhile, Kyler Murray is unbeaten in Minnesota and Marvin Harrison Jr. is wearing a Texans jersey. And from a few online clips that surfaced on Wednesday, he already looks like a different player.

These are dangerous times for our sunken NFL team. Landmines are everywhere. And you hope all these factors are not the reason why Carson Beck is still in mothballs.

In other words: You hope the fear of further embarrassment, at a time when the Birdgang has never been more agitated, isn’t the driving force behind the decision.

I also believe the Cardinals need some grace on this decision because they know way better than us what Beck’s current level of preparedness happens to be.

And maybe they fear a premature debut might do more harm than good, to the player and the current perception of the organization.

But I also believe Beck should be active, helmet in hand, ready for mop-up duty should any of the next six games get sideways. And unfortunately, there’s a pretty good chance of that happening in the very near future.
