Defense should improve with Adams back and draft picks. Could it be any worse? The offense is going to be the question mark if Geno or other QB can replicate 2022 numbers. Geno first half 2022 was MVP caliber. Second half 2022 had too many turnovers. Run game should improve with KW9 in sophomore season and likely another RB addition as a quality back up. WRs always are always superb. O line could use some reinforcements on the interior, but tackles should again improve in second season and were pretty damn good rookies.
I'd say Geno Smith's year had three distinct arcs.
The opening arc, Geno was playing at an MVP level. He was putting up gaudy numbers and not turning the ball over. He was in the initial conversations for MVP.
The second arc started after the Tampa Bay game. Geno's numbers faded a bit. His completion percentage went down, his turnovers went up -- but he was still above average.
The last and final arc, Geno looked average to below average. This happened in the last 5 games. His completion percentage fell to around 63 percent, he had 8 TDs to 5 INT's, a y/a that was around low 6 in addition to that he lost two fumbles. That leaves his TD to turnover ratio at 9 TDs (1 rushing TD) to 7 turnovers in the last five games, a low Y/A and meh completion percentage.
The other thing about Geno is his redzone numbers weren't that steller at any point in the year. In addition to this he had the second most highest turnover worthy plays in the league. We all saw the many near misses he had with INT's and balls that he threaded into tight coverage that just barely missed getting picked off.
Geno isn't a bad QB by any means, but he did have a consistent downswing throughout the year. He also struggled to seal the deal in crunch time.
Fellow Seahawk fans are acting like Geno Smith is the slam dunk, sure thing. I'd agree with your assessment that he is not. We've seen one hit wonders, and career backups go to being MVP (Gannon) the former is much more common. I don't think we're ever going to see Jets Geno, but I could see him becoming a Teddy Bridgewater, Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum sort of character. A top tier backup and can perform as a starter, but not a particularly great starter. I could also see him popping off too.
Either way, Geno is in no way a sure thing come next season.
