Netflix's "Receiver" docuseries, which premiered this week, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the 2023 NFL season, including the turbulent relationship between Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

Adams, who joined the Raiders from the Packers in 2023, was expected to be a key target for Garoppolo. However, their on-field chemistry appeared to be lacking, as evidenced by several scenes in the docuseries that highlighted their disconnect.

In one scene, Adams is seen visibly frustrated after Garoppolo overthrows a pass during a game against the Detroit Lions. "This is f---ing pathetic, bro," Adams says to Garoppolo. "Just throw the f---ing ball, man! F---. Tired of this f---ing bulls---," he continues, slamming his helmet on the ground.

Adams' frustration stems from Garoppolo's apparent inability to deliver passes with consistency. In a separate sequence, Adams expresses his general dissatisfaction with playing with Garoppolo, suggesting that the quarterback's poor play may lead him to leave the Raiders.

"I gotta get the f--- outta here before I lose my f---ing life," Adams says. "I ain’t never been hit so many f---ing times in my career. Every game, I get f---ed up."

Adams' frustrations ultimately contributed to Garoppolo's benching in favor of rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell. Garoppolo's poor performances and the Raiders' disappointing 3-5 start led to the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels.
