Arizona Cardinals: Top 5 opponent quarterbacks in 2017

The Arizona Cardinals defense will face some tough opposing quarterbacks in 2017

The Arizona Cardinals will face tough quarterbacks every year.  Some they see every year, some maybe once every two or three and AFC quarterbacks once every four years.

Given the easier schedule, at least on paper, you’d expect the Cardinals defense to possibly have an easier go of it than they did in 2016.

That’s not so when it comes to opposing quarterbacks.  The Cardinals face their three NFC West opponents, the entire NFC East, the entire AFC South, and the second-place teams from the NFC South and NFC North.

The fact is in the NFL there is never really what you can call an “easy” game but some quarterbacks are easier to prepare for than others.  Some of the good quarterbacks will be coming to Arizona and some the Cardinals will have to face on the road.

We’ll know when the Cardinals face each quarterback in about two weeks or so.  The 2017 NFL schedule is expected to be finalized soon and announced sometime during the week of April 17-21.

The Cardinals will see some of the same quarterbacks in 2017 that they saw in 2016 but there will be some fresh faces as well.  Here is the cream of the crop of who they will see this upcoming season.
