A bold statement from the Cardinals' head coach has sent shockwaves through the NFL community: Jacoby Brissett, the team's interim quarterback, will start against the Seahawks this Sunday. This decision comes despite Kyler Murray's impending return from injury, raising eyebrows and sparking debate among fans and analysts alike.
But here's where it gets controversial: Coach Jonathan Gannon has publicly affirmed his commitment to Murray as the starter once he's healthy. So, why the sudden change of heart? Gannon cites Brissett's solid performance and the team's recent success, stating, "I like what the offense is doing right now."
And this is the part most people miss: Gannon isn't ruling out the possibility of Murray being active for Sunday's game. However, if Murray does play, it won't be as the starter. This leaves room for interpretation and speculation, especially considering Brissett's recent success.
If Brissett continues to excel and leads the Cardinals to an upset victory, it will be interesting to see if Gannon sticks to his guns and reinstates Murray as the starter when he's fully fit. Gannon himself acknowledged Brissett's strong leadership, saying, "I do like how we're operating as an offense."
So, will Gannon stay true to his word and give Murray his starting role back? Or has Brissett earned the right to keep the job? What do you think, NFL fans? Should Gannon stick to his original plan or go with the hot hand? Let us know in the comments!
