Revenge of the Birds on Carson Beck
From the article
Looking calm, cool, collected and confident throughout his more than two quarters of work, the rookie executed just about everything that was asked of him... He showed off his ability to go through his reads, hang in the pocket, and deliver... It should come as no surprise that the Arizona Cardinals quarterback looked like the best player on the field in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.
STACKED’s take
Media consensus: poised, accurate, excellent touch, field general; best player on field.
Multiple media outlets praised Beck's preseason debut. Tyler Drake (Arizona Sports) noted Beck looked "calm, cool, collected and confident," executed everything asked of him, placed the ball where only receivers could catch it, showed ability to go through reads, hang in the pocket, and deliver. Stephen A. Smith (ESPN First Take) highlighted intermediate and deep throws with impressive trajectory, especially on the corner TD, praised his accuracy and poise, and noted he "dipped and dunked when necessary" and took what the defense gave him. Ian Casselberry (Yahoo! Sports) emphasized Beck showed touch on his 5-yard TD to Simi Fehoko. Kevin Patra (NFL.com) called Beck "the best player on the field," noted he was poised behind a backup O-line, showed excellent touch downfield, was pinpoint accurate, displayed ability to stay on target from multiple arm angles, didn't panic under pressure, and was a field general. Josh Weinfuss (ESPN Arizona) said Beck was clean, efficient, took what the defense gave him, was poised in the pocket, commanded play-action, and showed off his touch. Nate Davis (USA Today) framed Beck as potentially overtaking Jacoby Brissett already.
