We are entering a golden age of quarterbacks in the NFL; we’ll see on Sunday when Lamar Jackson‘s Baltimore Ravens take on Kyler Murray‘s Arizona Cardinals.
The NFL is littered with young quarterback talent right now. There’s seemingly a million youngsters ready to tear up the league for the next year in Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs), Deshaun Watson (Houston Texans), Jared Goff (Los Angeles Rams), Carson Wentz (Philadelphia Eagles), Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns), and many more now and on the way. Well, add Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens to that list, as well as Arizona Cardinals rookie Kyler Murray.
These two young stars are taking the league by storm in 2019. Jackson is coming off a historic performance, becoming the youngest quarterback ever to throw a perfect passer rating game. Meanwhile, Murray led the Cardinals to an unlikely comeback vs. the Detroit Lions and tied a game that should’ve been locked away. These two have all-world potential and it’ll be on full-display this Sunday in Baltimore, Maryland.
Each of these teams respectively has themselves a young, eager, and athletic quarterback with fantastic arm talent and the ability to manipulate defenses with their legs. Each comes with their warts obviously, as Jackson is considered to be too much of a runner to succeed and Murray too slight of frame to take a beating. Until we see those factors derail their careers however (which is no guarantee), it’s safe to assume they will be faces of the NFL for some time to come.
Let’s face it, the Ravens and the Cardinals got themselves game-changers. These kids are so much fun to watch; it’s not a coincidence that they both won a Heisman Trophy during their college days. You can go to YouTube and watch their highlights all day long and never get bored. They are a blessing for both the teams and the NFL.
This is what makes this match-up between the Baltimore Ravens and the Arizona Cardinals so enticing. Jackson and Murray are guys you create in a lab or a video game (hello, Madden) and we get to see them on the field at the same time and place! How lucky is that?
The fire works will be on display for sure, and there’s no telling just how much drama and excitement the two will give us. This is must-watch football, ladies and gentlemen. If only the league knew how talented these two youngsters were and made it prime time football… Instead, we have to settle for it being an early afternoon game. But, that’s neither here nor there.
Back on topic, the match-up of Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens and Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals is one I can’t wait for. I’d imagine the same is true of many other NFL fans. It’s simply a competition that gets you all wound up, like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. Man, oh man, I can’t wait to unwrap this gift of a game.
Folks, this game will be one of the most exciting you’ll see all year long. The two of these quarterbacks will put up a fireworks show and we should enjoy every second of it. Count down the days, y’all, because this Sunday’s game of the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Arizona Cardinals will be one we remember for a long time.
