Seeing as the 3-14 Arizona Cardinals are stuck in an NFC West division with the Seahawks, Rams, and 49ers, this team's playoff hopes are realistically crushed before the 2026 season even begins. In other words, what can the Cardinals achieve in 2026 that better positions themselves to eventually catch up to the stacked NFC West? Now, it's a matter of figuring out how to utilize all that talent, which is where new head coach Mike LaFleur comes in. Still, even simply from an offensive scheme standpoint, there's a lot to be excited about with what LaFleur is bringing to the Cardinals. While he still isn't close to figuring out the new-look offense by his own admission, Brissett should at least help the Cardinals establish "best practices" within the offense.
