- “Quarterback” has been a wildly successful summer show for Netflix, featuring Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota
- There are no shortage of other QB’s that could be featured on the 2024 second season
- We break down the odds for who the favorites are, along with a longshot
Just two weeks ago, Netflix debuted their highly acclaimed and anticipated ‘Quarterback’ show which drew rave reviews amongst sports fans. It chronicled Super Bowl-winning QB Patrick Mahomes, along with Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota in their efforts last season. It was football’s version of F1’s ‘Drive to Survive’, golf’s ‘Full Swing’ and the tennis show ‘Break Point’.
Mahomes is the front-runner in the NFL MVP odds for this upcoming season, following his second Super Bowl title of his career. Unsurprisingly, the Chiefs are the betting favorite in the Super Bowl odds as well. However, he won’t be the focal point for the anticipated second installment of the series in 2024.
Which quarterbacks could see themselves on season two of Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’ and which ones have already declined to participate?

Anthony Richardson (Colts) | +550 |
Jordan Love (Packers) | +600 |
Jimmy Garoppolo (Raiders) | +700 |
Kenny Pickett (Steelers) | +750 |
Aaron Rodgers (Jets) | +1000 |
Brock Purdy (49ers) | +1000 |

Daniel Jones (Giants) | +1000 |
Joe Burrow (Bengals) | +1000 |
Justin Herbert (Chargers) | +1100 |
Kyler Murray (Cardinals) | +1100 |
Lamar Jackson (Ravens) | +1100 |
Matthew Stafford (Rams) | +1100 |
Deshaun Watson (Browns) | +1200 |
Geno Smith (Seahawks) | +1200 |
Desmond Ridder (Falcons) | +1300 |
Mac Jones (Patriots) | +1500 |
Blaine Gabbert (Chiefs) | +2000 |
Josh Allen checks in at EVEN money as a heavy favorite to be on the program. It’s interesting that Jalen Hurts is the second choice at +200 because he revealed he turned down season one and this upcoming one as well. Derek Carr, who switched teams from Las Vegas to New Orleans, and Jared Goff of the upstart and exciting Detroit Lions, round out the top four.

Favorites To Land On ‘Quarterback’
Josh Allen would be the perfect QB to land on the next installment of Netflix’s Quarterback for his personable ways, along with such an established team. He’s entrenched as the starter, obviously, so there won’t be any worry from him that losing focus would cost him his job. That’s a name that has too much sizzle for it to not make sense.
The Lions just got finished with doing ‘Hard Knocks’ last campaign and they were scorching hot down the stretch, taking eight of their last ten contests. Jared Goff, alongside highly entertaining Head Coach Dan Campbell would be an amazing selection.
Notable Quarterbacks Declining To Participate
There are a few QB’s, who, like Jalen Hurts, have reportedly declined to be on the show. Those also include the Bears Justin Fields, Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa, Cincy’s Joe Burrow and Sam Howell from the Commanders.
It’s not surprising that many NFL quarterbacks are declining the invitation to be on Netflix’s Quarterback. They’re football players that want to win games, and they don’t care to be reality TV stars. Also, the show allows for a lot of visibility into their personal lives.

Expect there to be more signal callers who wind up not accepting the invitation as most teams don’t like the distractions, particularly with rookie quarterbacks. Established veterans like Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota made more sense in the inaugural foray into the series.

Netflix Quarterback Predictions
Josh Allen is such a heavy favorite that it’s hard to ignore, so that one would be a no-brainer. The aforementioned Goff would be solid to have on there with an exciting young team people are rooting for.
When looking down the board for longshot value, the name Geno Smith (+1200) really stands out. He had a career renaissance under Pete Carroll with the Seahawks last season, and it would be fascinating to see how he prepares to continue his stellar play from a season ago.
Picks: Josh Allen (EVEN), Jared Goff (+250), Geno Smith (+1200)
