**1. Kirk Cousins felt betrayed by the Falcons drafting MPJ in the first round.** He would have strongly considered staying in Minnesota if he knew that was going to happen.   
  
**2. Amon Ra St. Brown wears number 14 because his girlfriend miscounted the number of receivers drafted ahead of him!** When the Lions asked him what number he wanted, St, Brown asked his GF to count the receivers taken before him. She counted 14. The actual number was 16 (Which was the number Goff came over with when he was traded from LA)  
  
**3.** After coming home from his meeting with Falcons Head Coach Raheem Morris, where he was told he was being benched, **Kirk Cousins called Michael Penix Jr from his garage to tell him he had the job.** Kirk hadn’t even told his wife about the benching yet (Though she and Kirk both saw it coming when Morris asked Kirk to come meet him in his office at 7:30 at night).  
  
4**. Early in the season, Kirk Cousins said his ankle and ACL (Injuries he sustained in 2024) weren’t the reason for his slow start**. Later in the season when he injured his elbow and his shoulder, and struggled to drive the ball, suddenly he brought the ankle up as a contributing factor. I’m not saying any one of us wouldn’t do the same thing. Maybe early on he was trying to tough it out and wasn’t being honest with himself about his ankle. No idea. I just found it interesting that once he was facing an imminent benching, the ankle became a concern.   
  
My takeaway, I LOVE the Quarterback series. We get access and inside looks at things we didn’t get during the season. Having said that, no quarterback should ever agree to do it. Because of this documentary, we now know that Kirk Cousins claims he’s healthier than he actually is sometimes (That could affect his marketability as he looks for a new team in 2025 and beyond). Joe Burrow had to be open and vulnerable with the Netflix crew after his house was broken into - something that couldn’t have been easy. Jared Goff escapes this season as the one QB it would be hard to write something negative about (There are those in sports media who will find a way). To me the cons outweigh the pros…but I love it. So I hope Peyton Manning keeps producing these things!
