There’s no question that Josh Rosen should be the starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals.
He’s got a strong arm. He can evade the rush. And his teammates praise his command of the huddle and playbook.
The offense is shaky. The defense is in flux. And it’s not clear this team has the intangibles needed to win games.
There’s plenty of reason to trust Steve Wilks. He projects confidence, and he’s been consistent in his message, emphasizing time-tested football values such as toughness and playing the best 11 guys, regardless of pedigree. But the timing of this decision raises concerns about whether it’ll work.
