Key points
  • “It’s really been a welcome to the NFL season, just getting introduced to what the league is and what it can be, but I'm super excited for the opportunity and to have the chance to go play with these guys.” Beck will be the third starting quarterback for the Cardinals this season after Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew.
  • “Obviously, having gone from the emergency quarterback at the beginning of the season to last week being the backup to now being the starter, it’s been a crazy season,” Beck said, via transcript from the team.
  • “I think the biggest thing is just watching those two and how they carry themselves and how they handle themselves not only in the meeting room around the coaches, but during the walkthrough, during practice, and during the game,” Beck said.

Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck will make his first start on Sunday against the Rams.

“I think that’s something that I learned in how they carry themselves and when they went on the field — how I need to carry myself as well.” To that end, Beck said “of course” he can maintain his sense of confidence entering Sunday.

Additional details
  • Beck noted he’s picked up plenty from observing both veteran QBs to this point in the year.
  • Regardless of the circumstances, regardless of anything going on around you, regardless of maybe what happened the play before or maybe thinking about what’s going to happen the next play.
  • “I think the coolest thing about confidence is that confidence is a choice,” Beck said.
  • “I think that’s the biggest thing that you can learn from those guys, of everybody’s looking at you as a quarterback, and your attitude has to be right each and every day.
  • You have to go out there and do your thing and you have to go out there and be confident, have swag, and have moxie.
