TEMPE — Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck is expected to continue serving as the team’s third-string quarterback behind Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew II.
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur and the coaching staff had a discussion about his current role on Tuesday.
“Nothing new,” LaFleur said on Wednesday.
Beck continues to split backup reps with Minshew at practice. He has not been active on game days, serving as the emergency quarterback.
The rookie continues to work on his craft at practice after missing most of the preseason with rib discomfort he suffered in a Hall of Fame Game loss to the Carolina Panthers.
With Arizona’s current four-game losing streak and offensive inconsistency with Brissett under center, the noise has grown that much louder for a quarterback change.
Through five games, Brissett is posting a 1-4 record with 1,110 yards and nine touchdowns to five interceptions on 66.3% throwing.
As a team, Arizona ranks 23rd offensively (301.2 yards per game) and 23rd in points scored (21.6 points per game).

At some point you have to know what you have with Beck. Putting him in would at least give the fans some sort of hope.
This is why we are losers. Beck is what 25 years old? been on team since Spring, played like 5-6 years in college at big program. So when is he ready??
You gotta know how he handles pain, speed and chaos of a meaningful regular season game against teams who need to win. Of course its not going to go great but MAN! you got to see how he does and not week 15.
He can spend next 3 years learning under Jacoby or Gardner, but it will not help him. Beck needs to play in the mess and now because will be picking 1st or 2nd in draft and you better know now if he is your future.
Here is my last comment today and you all can freak out.. So listen up :)
Even if Beck is a complete disaster I am not picking a QB next year. WE MUST GET TEAM FIXED FIRST, THEN GET A QB.
Honestly if Beck is not the future use the draft to address both lines and trade out of spots and gather more picks? I'd rather see Gardner start next year and get rest of team fixed then to watch the rookie QB get slaughtered and we still can't run or block. Mark my words, J Love will be outta here if we dont fix this Oline.
One more week. If Beck does not play, im all in on the fire MLF bandwagon. We dont need meeley mouth, milquetoast coaches like Gannon ever again.
MLF is entering moron territory with this Brisset/Rallis defending...
