Who are the top 5 quarterbacks the Ravens will face this season?
The 2017 NFL schedule is out, and we know what teams the Baltimore Ravens will face this year. With that being said, which five quarterbacks will give the Ravens the most to worry about this season?
1. Aaron Rodgers – Week 11
Ravens fans all breathed a sigh-of-relief when the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots were not on the schedule. Even though the Ravens do not have to face Tom Brady in the regular season, they will have to travel to Green Bay in November to face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Rodgers may not be most successful quarterback in the NFL, but he is the best in terms of mechanics. Rodgers has been touted as “the best thrower of the football ever” by many experts, including Chris Simms from Bleacher Report.
Look no further than the amazing play in last season’s NFC divisional playoff game between the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Rodgers somehow found tight end Jared Cook on the sideline to set up the game-winning field goal as time expired. It was one of the best throws (and catches) in history.
The Ravens have never defeated Rodgers. The last time the Ravens played the Packers (2013), Rodgers threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 Green Bay win. 2009 was the last time that Baltimore traveled to Green Bay. On a frigid December night, Rodgers threw for 263 yards and three touchdown passes in a 27-14 win.
Rodgers is definitely the best quarterback the Ravens have on their 2017 schedule. Not only is he clutch, but his mechanics make him the best in the game, no questions asked.
