2023 NFL quarterback analysis: Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens can franchise tag Jackson -- the current projection is $45 million a year for a QB (h/t: CBSSports.com) -- but if that doesn't fly, things could get dicey. Jackson left the Ravens' Week 13 game with a PCL sprain and did not play the rest of the season.

Huntley did a decent job filling in for Jackson, but the offense never looked the same. He started five of Baltimore's last six games, including its wild-card loss to the Bengals. He threw for four touchdowns and was intercepted four times.

Brown, a rookie, started for the Ravens in their regular-season finale against Cincinnati, throwing for two picks in the team's loss.

Key stat: The Ravens were 8-4 when Jackson started, 2-4 when he didn't (regular and postseason).

2023 QB forecast: It's hard to imagine Jackson isn't a Raven in 2023, but crazier things have happened. If he isn't, Baltimore's No. 1 priority will be finding its next QB1 in free agency or the draft.

Ravens players have not been shy in letting the team know they want Jackson back. Their message: Pay the man.

Huntley is set to be a restricted free agent, but it's likely Baltimore will bring him back as its primary backup. Brown is under contract for two more years.
