The Arizona Cardinals won’t have an ideal quarterback situation next season. That’s a big reason why Drew Petzing was hired.
Drew Petzing was hiredNew Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has asked Petzing to lead an offense that will eventually be built around franchise quarterback Kyler Murray. The problem is MurrayThis is the first offensive coordinator job for the 35-year-old Petzing.
Petzing spent the past three seasons with the Cleveland Browns and was the quarterbacks coach last season. It wasn’t an easy season: Backup Jacoby Brissett played the first 11 games before Deshaun Watson came back from his suspension. Watson started the final six games of the season and threw for 1,102 yards, seven TDs and five interceptions. The Browns finished with a 7-10 record and didn’t make the playoffs, but Gannon was impressed that the team maintained solid offensive production.
"Arizona is different, but it was a good little bit of a blueprint to say ’Hey, this is what we did with our guys in Cleveland and this is how we can proceed with Kyler."
