Smile Quarterback on NETFLIX

Being a professional quarterback is arguably the toughest job in football — maybe in any sport, period. Quarterback, the new eight-episode docuseries from NFL Films and Omaha Productions, follows three of the biggest quarterbacks in the game throughout the 2022 season, giving an unprecedented look at what it takes for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, the Minnesota Vikings’ Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons’ Marcus Mariota to succeed when all eyes are on them.

“Look — we’ve seen quarterbacks mic’d up for a game. We’ve certainly seen training camp. But we’ve never followed a quarterback throughout the entire season to see what he does Sunday night after a big win, after a brutal loss on a last-second field goal — what they do on Mondays and Tuesdays on their off days,” Hall of Fame quarterback and Quarterback executive producer Peyton Manning told Netflix. “Are they hanging out? Are they playing golf? Are they in the weight room and watching film and grinding for that next game? Which is the answer, by the way, not to give it away. There is no golf in the season.”

I can highly recomend this show if you havn't already watched it. I'v just binged it over the last two days. Som great stuff in there, gives a good look at the amount of studying a QB has to do. And a lot more.

Overall it feels very fresh compared to a show like Hardknocks where everybody knows the script by now and the only thing that changes year to year is the colour of the jerseys.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

+1.

Just saw a little bit of it the other night. Boy, Kurt Cousins's body takes a beating on Sunday doesn't he?

I liked the take with Mariota as well. Easy guy to root for.

Actually I think he looks uncomfortable all the time and his eyes are "dead". Seems like he isn't enjoying being on the show or football in general.

I didn't get that vibe at all. Brand new baby, the daily grind, and playing through pain (never appeared on the injury report) ... subsequent chronic knee procedure.

That's incredible pressure to deal with. All the media did was make it appear as if he "quit". That was hardly the case.

"playing through pain (never appeared on the injury report)... subsequent chronic knee procedure." Perhaps the Saints aren't the only NFL team with an "Inept" medical staff?

Players are "REPLACEABLE COGS" in the NFL MONEY MACHINE.
