"Quarterback"...the Netflix film

[ladypanther]

Surprised I have not seen anyone mention this. Netflix film produced by Peyton Manning. "Quarterback follows three QBs — the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, the Minnesota Vikings' Kirk Cousins, and the Atlanta Falcons' Marcus Mariota — as they progress through the 2022 NFL season."

Interesting close up look.  I watched it over the weekend.  I was impressed by the amount and type of extra training Mahomes does. Kind of insane.  His success is no accident.

Hope our young QBs...Bryce and Matt watch that.

Felt bad for Mariota.  Seems like a nice guy.

Been hearing positive reviews about this film. Will be on my watchlist this Sunday for sure.

I watched most of the first episode, it's interesting but has kinda dragged a bit for me. I may continue to watch but skip through the Cousins/Mariota parts as they bore me.

lol yeah me too, threw it on while working out (normally put on live sports but in the summer I don't have much of that not being a baseball fan)

I tried skimming around but lost interest pretty quickly. Manning stuff so far has come across pretty light and fluffy, like that draft QB show that was basically a commercial for Manning passing academy. I might skim around again to see if theres any Adam Thielen candid moments

No Thielen moments that I noticed.

I binge watched the entire thing.  You are right about Mariota.  There isn't a single interesting thing that you are missinig if you skip over his parts.  Cousins is a boring person but there were some interesting things that came up during his parts.

Just strange that they picked two super middle of the road vets, I guess they can only get QB's that want to deal with being filmed all season long. No one ever wants to do Hard Knocks

I’m kind of surprised by some of these takes. I binged watched it in two days and thought it was great. The Mariotta part wasn’t the greatest, but I actually loved watching the Mahomes and Cousins parts. I like seeing the difference in one QB who basically has unbelievable God given talent versus a guy who has many flaws. Both of which work their butt off and it shows in their play. Mahomes is everything you want in a QB from athletic gifts to work ethic. Cousins wasn’t given the gifts of Mahomes or most QBs in the league, but the dude is unbelievably committed to his craft. 
 

i also loved Cousins explaining the 4th down play against the Giants. It’s easy for us fans to get mad because he threw the ball behind the line of scrimmage, but when he goes through the play and talks about how fast you have to make a decision, it makes sense. 
 

I love football in general and not just the Panthers so I thought it was a really really good watch.

I definitely don't feel bad for Mariota. Imagine being a major disappointment in your profession and still banking nearly $65M.

That's only half of what Sam Bradford made!

My guess is that they wanted some variety....which they accomplished.

Im a few episodes into it and I love it.. I love sports docs in general. 

I was impressed with Kirk, he has a really cool story and IMO is one of the most under appreciated players in the league. 

Mariota... yeah he just has a boring personality. 

I like that they picked a top tier, mid tier and bubble player to follow.
