Carson Beck set for first Cardinals start against Rams
The rookie will become the Cardinals’ third starting quarterback of the season, following Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew.
Cardinals rookie Carson Beck will make his regular-season debut as the starting quarterback against the Rams. Speaking to reporters before the matchup, Beck expressed excitement about getting an opportunity to play after moving through several roles this season.
Beck began the season as the emergency quarterback, then served as the backup before becoming the starter. He described that progression as an introduction to the NFL and said observing veteran quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew had taught him about the position’s responsibilities.
Those lessons included how the veterans conducted themselves with coaches, in meetings, at practice and during games, Beck said. He emphasized the importance of a quarterback’s daily attitude and the example he sets for teammates.
Beck also said he could remain confident entering his first start. He described confidence as a choice that can influence the players around him, while stressing execution and staying focused on the present rather than previous plays or what might happen next.
