Netflix : Receiver

JWBlue · 07-13-2024, 11:36 PM

On the fence about watching this. Has anyone else watched it yet? Is it worth it?

Should have featured Cooper Kupp instead a few of the other guys.

I hate George Kittle so nah.

JWBlue · 07-14-2024, 05:08 PM

It is really good. Better than Quarterback. All of the WR profiled are likeable. Even Kittle.

tjforce · 07-15-2024, 01:45 AM

Just watched the first episode and it way okay.

Feels kind of different this season when you hear the 49ers players talk about winning the Super Bowl from episode 1, but you already know the ending, and it's them getting their hearts ripped out.

This.

I just finished this series yesterday and enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend.

Should have stuck with Quarterbacks. I'll likely pass, not only because I canceled Netflix.

PrimeTimeScott · 07-16-2024, 08:33 AM

I'm about half way though. I love it. I hope they focus on a different position group each year. I like the receivers that they chose as well.

Zero offense to your opinion, but for good marketing/relevancy in today’s media and towards an audience of new fans or casual fans, saying if it’s not a QB, keep walking is just blind imho. Too many positions in football to neglect stars at their role. Even the best kickers can have their 15 minutes. Except Butker. Maybe a tad drastic to hear him too long for a general viewing audience. But that’s up to the show runners to decide.

Call me when they release Netflix: Late round QB Busts

I started watching this last night. It’s pretty entertaining.

Earlsnake07 · 07-16-2024, 01:34 PM

Finished it this past weekend - I enjoyed it.

I am guessing Peyton continues...what position group is next? Or will they venture into following a few coaches for the season?

Gotta be RB.

O-line either would be really good or really boring. Not sure which.

Strange take, IMO a mic'd up Kittle is pure entertainment!

tjforce · 07-16-2024, 03:28 PM

Two episodes in....

Definitely not as interesting as last year. Devante seems a bit more likable than anticipated so far, Jefferson a bit less. Not that I get offended by 24 year old focused on jewelry and nicknames, but his story doesn't seem really deep at this point.

majestik101 · 07-16-2024, 04:35 PM

No Mike Evans.

Pass

They picked a TE over Evans for a show called Receiver.

Hall of Very Not on TV.

Bruh...

Kittle was a huge factor in me winning the championship last year.

So nah

I would think it would depend on which big name they can get to follow.

RB seems obvious but if they can't get CMC... Could a Josh Jacobs really carry it? I am not so sure.

Pass Rushers with Micah Parsons and Watt etc would be a fun one. That is what I want I think.

DBs could be another interesting one with Sauce and Jalen Ramsey etc.

I think it all comes down to which big name stars they can get to lead the group.

I'd love an o-line show

It'd be really good to get an idea of what makes a good o-line versus a bad one, it seems like a lot of the time it's either "our o-line sucks" or "they have one of the best o-lines in the league" but it's pretty rare that they actually get into what makes them good or bad (beyond being able to block obviously)

Plus o-line guys are generally some of the smartest dudes on the team so they probably have some interesting things to say

RAV2773 · 07-17-2024, 03:54 PM

Definitely worth a watch. Very entertaining. Even knowing how the season ends, it's still interesting to see how it unfolds and the different POVs from the players side.
