Almost every NFL fan is looking forward to see Mahomes in the documentary, but not everyone will share the same feeling about Cousins and Mariota sharing the screen. Ever since the announcement of the impending documentary, fans have speculated why Mahomes is joined by Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota of the Vikings and Falcons respectively. Upon the release of the trailer, fans took to social media and YouTube comments to share their theories.

One fan eagerly shared an interesting take on the first season of the Quarterback. He goes on to share, “People here seem to fail to see that they wanted to show different perspectives of 3 starting QB’s in 3 different spectrum’s: Super Star, Veteran, and a Journeyman QB.”

Kirk has his own fans and supporters that defend his position in the documentary. One fan says, “Kirk gets so much hate but the guy is gamer and a role model off the field. He also has the most game winning drives in the last decade but who would ever know that because of the hate.”

Whereas some fans still question the addition of Cousins and Mariota. This is evident as another fan questions, “Why’d they choose 1 amazing qb and then 2 trash qb’s”

Mariota saw his team end the season quite poorly, which has seen fans take aim at it. With a comment questioning, “Why Mariota like Ik mahomes the best obv and then Kirk who’s pretty mid but then they got mariota?”

The documentary will push Mahomes’ popularity even further. With the new season up ahead, and the documentary dropping a month before the preseason matches. It will solidify the stance NFL fans have taken towards the three players in the ‘Quarterback’ series.
