Fans Reacted To The News About Quarterback
There were some interesting fan reactions to this news.
Specifically, fans had comments on the quarterbacks selected.
Vineet Dhiman said on Twitter:
“Honestly, this is a pretty interesting spread of QBs. You got the current #1, a decent mid-tier, and a journeyman.” Will be interesting to see all the different perspectives and how they approach the position.”
Johnny Quarantine said on Twitter:
“Lowkey Kirk Cousins gonna be the best follow. Dude won the craziest games of the year, plus was dripped out after the wins…”

This is, of course, a reference to Rodgers’ four-day darkness retreat that he is reportedly embarking upon at some point this offseason.
Though it has not aired, fans are already clamoring for a second season.
One wants insider access to the Daniel Jones negotiations with the New York Giants.
The Timing Of Its Release Is Interesting
By the time it is released, the NFL 2023 preseason could be underway.
It will still get plenty of interest and binge-watchers; however, it is surprising Netflix does not edit and release it in the next couple of months when there is no NFL football.
