Cardinals Face QB Concerns Despite Strong Weapons, Sound OL & Appealing Young Defensive Talent

Arizona Cardinals face a pivotal season as uncertainty at quarterback clouds their plans—can promising young talent push them past the NFC West’s elite? Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs examine the Cardinals’ retooled offense, spotlighting Trey McBride’s ascent as a franchise cornerstone, Marvin Harrison’s rookie expectations, and Paris Johnson’s presence on the offensive line. Questions swirl around Jacoby Brissett’s future, Gardner Minshew’s role, and whether Carson Beck or a potential trade target like Anthony Richardson could provide answers under center. Defensively, Arizona boasts an influx of developing talent with Walter Nolan, Darius Robinson, and a maturing secondary led by Denzel Burke. The conversation extends to Nick Rallis’s defensive continuity, the impact of Josh Sweat, and the stoutness brought by Roy Lopez and Andrew Billings. A daunting schedule and projected win total spark debate—will the Cardinals surprise or set themselves up for a high 2025 NFL Draft pick? Photo Credit: Gary A.
