On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives into the case for Jacoby Brissett as the Arizona Cardinals’ starting quarterback in 2026. He offers a detailed analysis of Brissett’s performance last season, arguing that fans and analysts should look beyond the team’s win-loss record to appreciate Brissett’s efficiency and resilience amid challenging circumstances. Despite facing injuries, a depleted run game, and a struggling offensive line, Brissettemaintained a nearly 65% completion rate, threw for almost 3,400 yards, and kept his interception numbers low.
Alex Clancy pushes back on the negativity surrounding Brissett, pointing out that he was not the direct cause of the Cardinals’ failures and often exceeded expectations given the surrounding chaos. He highlights how the addition of new offensive pieces—like Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and an improved offensive line—should make Brissett’s job significantly easier. The fit under new offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is also discussed, stressing how Brissett’s experience, skill set, and stability align perfectly with the team’s needs in the near future.
The episode further examines the quarterback room’s dynamics, particularly in light of the Carson Beck draft selection. Alex Clancy cautions against rushing the rookie into action, arguing that Brissett is currently the best candidate to lead the offense, providing a bridge while Beck continues to develop.
Listeners are encouraged to consider the broader roster improvements and team context, rather than focusing solely on past records. Alex Clancy teases a deeper breakdown and continued quarterback discussion in future episodes, promising more analysis on both Brissett and Beck. The episode reinforces the importance of steady quarterback play and sets the stage for continued debate as the offseason progresses. Let’s discuss.
