Geno Is a Bridge, Nothing More

[xray]

Whelp, JS tried shopping Geno at the combine and no one wanted him. He is not a desired commodity. So he is all but guaranteed to be the starter for '24.

Penix's arm is just too darn good to last to 16. Unless his medical is bad, but then would you want damaged goods?

Rattler looks like a future starter with upside, if he can some how last to the 3rd.

It's so crazy to think they moved Wilson for all of those picks, which really only made up for the Jamal Adam's trade, and failed to position themselves for a QB in the deepest QB draft in 40 years.

JS needs to work his magic, and pull the rabbit out of the hat on this one. As 5 QBs will be off the board before pick 16.

Rattler at 16 seems high, so trade down and snag him in the 2nd, as him lasting 'til the 3rd just doesn't seem likely to me.

Punting on QB another year is unimaginable given the circumstances, but it is looking like a reality.

I really like Rattler .

I really like Rattler .

You like a guy who basically had a 2:1 TD:INT rate in college

Geno being the bridge to our (hopefully) permanent starter seems pretty obvious. Not sure why we need an essay on it?

UFL talk? I'm kind of low key excited to watch the league.

We shouldn't need a bridge QB after this year...... Right?

This is Geno's last year as starter..... Right?

Wrong..... These Geno lovers are hoping he has a good enough season to stay the starter for a few more years which will make him like 35 years old.

Just face it..... Geno will not take us to the SuperBowl.

. The sports babe on KJR used to call us Hooterville for a reason. Listening to softy and hugh millen today made me remember that. . At least we aren't Mariners fans. Those poor fans have been stuck in purgatory since the beginning.

Geno is going to break all career Seahawks records by his final year in 2035.

Is this like the time you predicted Geno's 2022 stat line and assured everyone he was going to get benched after being embarrassed by Detroit?

Did you... did you just guarantee us a Super Bowl appearance?

Just waving your fist and shouting at the sky. You post like you're actually terrified of this reality to the point of genuine anxiety.

If Geno has a good enough season to stay the starter at age 35, there is no world in which that is bad for Seattle. That type of year would have to leave no doubt.

But no, of course, you find a way to make that world where Geno lights it up in 2024 a negative, because you're a one issue poster who has always posted about a single issue from the day you created your account - and that issue has been "please no Geno!!!!"

It's an agenda you refuse to cede ground on.

If it were like that, he'd take another year-long break from posting in shame.

It looks like about half the members like and defend Smith , and the other half thinks he's just a band aid that needs changing . If everybody is correct , than the Hawks can expect either an 8-9 or a 9-8 upcoming season again .

I think the answer is in between.

Geno is a fine QB to rock with until you get your shot at a potential franchise guy. If they find one of these guys as that then they’ll do it.

JS is the same guy that was ready to give Russ away to get Josh Allen. He’s not afraid to move on. But until then, Geno isn’t a bad option at QB at all.

Yeah, I should stop thinking he's a great QB because of this video. Got it.
According to some, he's a 3rd round pick

 

[Blazin Hawk]

I know the buzz is the draft this time of year but one guy that might be available for a day 3 pick would be Hendon Hooker. With Goff winning over Detroit fans and likely about to get a long term extension, Hooker might be looking for a new home with the opportunity to prove himself. He’s rehabbed his knee last year and ready to compete. Just a thought.

I saw a piece where Mina Kimes was arguing Geno is the most underrated player in the League.

Geno is plenty good enough to feed the current offense. The WRs/TEs/RBs in Seattle this season should be a situation in which most QBs thrive. It's reasonable to expect a really good season at QB.

SHowell had a middling year in '23 with a terrible OL. The weak spot this year on O looks to be the OL in Seattle too. Perhaps Sam's value is higher because of the unknowns on the line. We know what the floor is even if RightTackle/Center... turn out to be big problems.

Worst case scenario (for QB production) is Sam Howell with a slightly better OLine than he had in '23. Best case is Geno Smith improving on '22 with better WR TE options and better run game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Most underrated? Nah

 

[Recon_Hawk]

Geno's average contract value is $25M (#20 in all QBs) and only $26.2M cap hit in 2024.

Relative to other veterans and their cap hit and APY salary, he's definitly one of the more underated QBs in the league.

I'm always pushing to draft a young QB but Geno is giving the Hawks good value.
