With the Arizona Cardinals moving on from undrafted quarterback Jake Coker, it gives Matt Barkley one final shot to try and earn a spot on the final roster. With most of the starters resting in the preseason finale on Thursday, he will get to play the entire game at quarterback.

When coach Bruce Arians was asked about the finale and the quarterback position, he said “one will play — hopefully only one.”

That, of course, is the hope Barkley doesn’t get hurt during the game, as that would require either Carson Palmer or Drew Stanton to have to get in the game, and it could complicate roster decisions as well after the game.

Barkley is vying for a spot on the roster as the team’s third quarterback. His play has been very inconsistent. “There were some really bright spots and some really poor spots,” Arians said of Barkley’s play on Sunday, when he threw for more than 160 yards and two scores. “He just has to eliminate the poor spots, inaccurate throws that are interceptions.”

Barkley was picked off twice.

Will he be able to show enough? Can he make it through an entire game? Will it be enough to make the roster, make the practice squad or even get picked up by another team?

Those are all things yet to be determined on Thursday.
