Arizona Cardinals: The backup quarterback dilemma

The Arizona Cardinals have historically kept at least three quarterbacks on the roster at all times. Sometimes a fourth has made his way onto the practice squad. However, if you believe some media, the Cardinals may only keep two quarterbacks.

I may end up being dead wrong, but I can’t see it. The Cardinals, as we all know, have Carson Palmer etched in stone as the starter. After that Drew Stanton is the backup. Stanton has played poorly in the preseason though.

After Stanton the Cardinals have Matt Barkley and Jake Coker. I think it is safe to say Coker will not be part of the future Cardinals plans after it was announced yesterday that he would miss the Houston game due to an injured knee.
