Quarterback premieres July 12 https://t.co/TvgfumO1XfPatrick Mahomes has arguably been the top quarterback in the NFL in recent years, while Kirk Cousins has also been consistently productive. Many NFL fans felt that Mahomes and Cousins make sense as featured players in the upcoming series, especially considering their proven success on the football field. Meanwhile, Marcus Mariota has been much more of an outlier as he's mostly served as a backup in recent seasons.The fans pointed out Netflix's odd choice of starring Mariota in its upcoming series. Some of them went on Twitter to criticize the selection as they would apparently have preferred a different quarterback to join Mahomes and Cousins.Here are some of the top comments against Mariota:$ir Auda¢ity 🦛@JoMarcusCrum@netflix Mariota Seriously30@netflix Mariota⁉️⁉️ Seriously⁉️⁉️Dusty Salter@HonestSalt58@netflix Mariota a weird choice but I’ll still be watching it lol1@netflix Mariota a weird choice but I’ll still be watching it lolBig Mike || Greg Dulcich’s #1 Fan@itsbigmike_@netflix It’s gonna be fire seeing Mariota get benched from behind the scenes1@netflix It’s gonna be fire seeing Mariota get benched from behind the scenesjack cowan@jackcowan71@netflix @FieldYates Who let Marcus in there5@netflix @FieldYates Who let Marcus in thereMGO_x (Part time Dbacks fan)@james323344@netflix I understand the two best QBs in the NFL Kirk and Pat but WHY Mariota?!?

They chose three different quarterbacks in much different situations. Patrick Mahomes is a young superstar who is taking the league by storm and who has won two NFL MVP awards and two Super Bowl rings.Kirk Cousins is a relatively successful veteran quarterback who can't seem to get over the hump. He finds ways to make it to the NFL playoffs but has failed to find much postseason success. Mariota adds yet another angle of an NFL quarterback. He was selected as a second-overall pick in the NFL draft but failed to ever meet his massive expectations.Offering three different tiers of NFL quarterbacks who are at different places in their careers gives the series an interesting angle to play on. The show can explore the mental and physical aspects of what it means to be at each of these varying levels.What team is Marcus Mariota playing for in the 2023 NFL season?Marcus MariotaMarcus Mariota spent the 2022 NFL season with the Atlanta Falcons. He opened the year as their starting quarterback before eventually being benched and replaced by rookie Desmond Ridder. He became a free agent at the end of the year and signed a new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. He will serve as a backup for Jalen Hurts during the 2023 NFL season.
