The Arizona Cardinals are off to an embarrassing 0-2 start, and the offense has scored a total of six points under quarterback Sam Bradford.
Many are calling for the Cardinals to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen instead, all while other rookie quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and Josh Allen have already received playing time.
But despite the team's awful start, general manager Steve Keim doesn't think the time is right for the Cardinals to put Rosen behind center, meaning Bradford will keep taking the snaps for now.
"Some guys have played too early and it has crippled their career," Keim said on Arizona Sports 98.7 (h/t Darren Urban of Cardinals.com). "I'm not going to name names, but I think a lot of us can think of certain players. Then there are guys who have come in and had success right away. But usually it's a rocky road."
Bradford has tossed just 243 passing yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions through the first two weeks, posting a mere 27.6 quarterback rating. It's hard to envision the offense being any worse with Rosen under center, but the Cardinals are going to stick with the patient route anyway.
