Two teams have already started two quarterbacks who were not on their roster last season, one of them is Arizona Cardinals. Cardinals, who saw both their quarterback and head coach retire after last season had a complete overhaul in coaching and QB room. The added three quarterbacks including Mike Glennon.

Sam Bradford, who is coming off injuries, signed a 1 year 20 million dollar contract and became a presumed starter. But, the Cardinals are off to a terrible start losing out in all the three starts prompting the change to go with the rookie Josh Rosen. Bradford in his three starts completed 62.5% of his passes for 400 yards and two touchdowns. But, he also had four INTs to his name.

Bradford, couldn't move the ball well under Mike McCoy's game plan. He struggled in the first 2 games where the offense only scored 6 points in total. He started off well in the Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears where he tossed two TDs to start the game, but then couldn't find the momentum in the rest of the game which paved the way for the rookies Josh Rosen to come in the fourth quarter and try to win the game which was a very close contest.

Rosen was named starter for week 4 and quietly had an impressive debut. Rosen probably threw for only 180 yards but kept the Cardinals in the game without making any stupid mistakes. Cardinals eventually lost to the Russell Wilson's Seahawks, but had a glimpse of their bright future. The Cardinals running game needs to be picked up. The O-line has been one of the worst in the league, which handcuffed one of the elite tailbacks in David Johnson.

This Cardinals offense reminds me of 2016 Rams team which made Todd Gurley, Jared Goff and Case Keenum do nothing. This Cardinals offense is doing the same to David Johnson, Josh Rosen and Larry Fitzerald. Look for a coaching change to come this off season even though it is the first season as a head coach for Steve Wilks, at the very least the OC needs to be changed.

With the correct play caller, this offense is capable of some high flying action ala Chiefs, Rams and the Texans.
