"QUARTERBACK" on NetFlix seems to be a fairly decent production. I considered putting this in the

"Entertainment-TV" section, but it is focused on football.

It profiles 3 NFL Q-Backs. They are:

1. Mariota

2. Cousins

3. Mahomes

It goes into the back stories of each of these players. Fairly interesting.

Hopefully, this type of programming can become something that catches on. I'd like to see other

players/positions profiled in the future.

Anyone seen any of this series? (I've seen episodes 1 & 2 and part of episode 6.) Talk about jumping around!

Discuss~

^^^^Have not seen it. There's another one on Netflix called "Untold." This feature is about our old friend, Johnny Football.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...2d7be66&ei=157

There was once a time when everyone thought Johnny Manziel was going to be the savior of the Cleveland Browns. He was one of the best quarterbacks in college football from 2012-13 before he was drafted by the Browns in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He even won the Heisman Trophy in 2012 while he was with Texas A&M. However, after he got drafted, everything changed. He was out of the league after two years and never got another chance.

I think he came to the realization that he couldn't play, lol.

Seen the rest of them, now (8 in total.)

Not a bad production. At least it's something NFL related.

I was wondering if anyone here had watched the show. I have been told it is worth the time to check out. Is that what you guys think, too?

I haven't watched this documentary yet but it seems I haven't missed much.

https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/johnny...ng-nfl-career/

There are those legendary NFL quarterbacks who are known for obsessing over game tape, trying to find even the smallest detail that can help them win each Sunday. Then, there’s former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. Manziel and his former agent, Erik Burkhardt, revealed in the newly released Netflix documentary, “Untold: Johnny Football,” that the former Heisman winner did not watch any tape during his two-year stint in Cleveland. “Their GM’s calling me going, ‘He doesn’t watch tape,’” Burkhardt, the co-head of football for Roc Nation, said in the documentary. “I’m like, ‘Well, he’s got to watch some tape.’ “He’s like, ‘E.B., his iPad hours is 0.00.’” The camera then shifts to Manziel, who holds his fingers on his left hand in the shape of an “O.” “Zero,” Manziel said.

Makes sense. He was a big zero at the time. Took the Browns money and ran.

Jerry Jones wanted to draft him soooooo bad. The whole draft room shamed him into going with their pick Zack Martin . After that showdown Jerrah has been a bit easier to control.

As a Cowboy fan I just breathed a huge sigh of relief although I didn't know that much about Zach Martin at the time. Martin was pick instead of JFF obviously.
