The Steelers are hoping to make a playoff run with Rodgers at the helm. However, their biggest obstacle would be the Ravens. Baltimore has a tight grip on the AFC North, and it doesn't seem like it is going to let go of it any time soon.

While speaking to the media on Friday, Harbaugh was asked for his reaction to Rodgers joining the Steelers. The coach said that he didn't have one, but has respect for the future Hall of Famer and his new team. Harbaugh added that the Ravens are preparing to take on a premier team like Pittsburgh.

"I didn't have reaction," Harbaugh said. "Just respect, respect for the Steelers, obviously. Respect for the team that they have, the coaches they have, head coach, coach Tomlin.

"I mean obviously we've always respected Aaron Rodgers, I mean he's a Hall of Fame quarterback. So we'll have to go against a Hall of Fame quarterback with one of the premiere teams in the league. Who happens to be our arch-rival, so we'll be preparing for that."

"The Steelers defense this year will be one of the better defenses Aaron Rodgers has played with in his career. If he can get back to his efficiency play, with a nasty run game. They are poised to be an uncomfortable team to play against," Bemkert tweeted on Thursday.

With a lot of buzz around his move to Pittsburgh, it'll be interesting to see how far Rodgers can take his new team next season.
