Brissett vs. Minshew: Cardinals' QB Debate Heats Up

0:00It's April 8th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. As the 2026 NFL draft gets closer, all eyes are on Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson linking up with the Arizona Cardinals at their third overall pick. But insiders on the team are pushing back hard, saying current guy Jacobi Brissette is already the starter for next year. Players like Center, High Yalta, Froholt, and all in on Brissette, calling him the real deal despite the hype. Brissette put up 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and just 8 picks this season, shining through a beat-up offensive line. Froholt backed him up with a solid pass-block grade, ranking 9th among sinners, making them two of the few bright spots on a rough, 3 and 14 cardinal squad, full of injuries. Now with new head coach Michael Flore in the mix, Brissette faces real competition from Gardner-Menshu, who they signed this off season, plus all that.
