From the article

The average for a quarterback is 28 attempts. This year, Brissett has thrown 37, 28, 52, 35, 47, 35, and 48 attempts. What that means is that the Cardinals aren't generating much of a running game, so their quarterback has to air it out for much of the contest.

Brissett averaging 40+ pass attempts due to weak run game; benching proposed to test alternatives.

Brissett is being asked to throw unsustainably high volumes: 37, 28, 52, 35, 47, 35, and 48 attempts across seven games (average 40.3 vs. league average of 28). This volume spike reflects the Cardinals' inability to generate a running game; opposing defenses recognize Arizona cannot run and attack the line of scrimmage every snap, giving them a distinct advantage. The source proposes benching Brissett in favor of backup Gardner Minshew to test whether a different quarterback can solve the red zone finishing problem.
