Geno Isn't the Guy. Sad to Say (Main)

[minormillikin]

Geno passing out early int treats to Cleveland for Halloween. Lucky they dropped what would have been an easy pick six.

Defense saved his ass numerous times.

Also lucky they didn't intercept in the endzone right before the winning touchdown.
A lot more would be on the "Geno is not the guy" side if Seahawks had lost on that ill-advised throw.

That said, Seahawks are winning and there's no way he's getting benched unless we go on a losing streak. If that happens, definitely give Lock some starts. I'd be interested to see what he could do as the starter.

Yup.

And that's been the Geno Smith story looking back on his run as a starter. Lucky.

Hugh Millen did a breakdown on the top 10 QBs. And he found 80% of their turnover worthy plays are intercepted. He had Geno Smith at only 46% of his turnover worthy plays being intercepted. That is incredibly lucky. He is a 20+ Interception a season QB if he wasn't having such incredible interception luck.

1-2 picks/game, 1-2 tds, 250 yds. You seriously think that's top ten? Wow. Just, wow.

And while he was $ in that last drive, he had YET ANOTHER easy dropped Pick 6 in this game. This has happened several times the last couple years. He's extremely lucky that many defenders have feet for hands. But, he got it done. On to next Sunday.

I am cheering for Smith to do well. I've heard many players say the game is 90% mental. Out of the next gauntlet of games, I hope he can have a great confidence building type of game for his mental well being . A couple of picks per week is not going to be sustainable.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He's our QB for now, I would like to think everyone is pulling for the guy. But if he doesn't make you nervous as a fan, I'm not sure what games people are watching.

Exactly. I would love it if he's The Guy. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Agree. If hawks are down in the fourth and depend on Geno for the winning drive, the chances of him throwing an int is greater than a winning TD. He doesn't handle pressure very well.

Easy games are over.....Now, is the time to show your mettle.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Cincy, Detroit and Cleveland are not easy games. But the upcoming gauntlet is legit. I'm actually stoked about all the games. Bring it on.

 

[knownone]

Geno will be fine. He had a bad game against an elite defense. He still grades out between the top 15 to 8 QBs. He's near the league average in turnover-worthy plays, nestled between Lamar Jackson, Pat Mahomes, and Jalen Hurts. He can be better. But I'm no more or less worried than I was before.

Geno Smith is one of the most overpaid QBs in the league.

Please share what you are smoking

 

[5thgen]

I think he meant overpaid compared to a Drew Lock, who can arguably get the same outcome given our defense.

 

[warden]

When we needed Geno to step up the most yesterday, he came through in a big way. We won the game. That was against one of the best defenses in the league which have been making offensives struggle all year long.

 

[nanomoz]

That is consecutive weeks where the defense dropped a would-be pick 6. And he's thrown an INT in field goal range 3 weeks in a row. There was another should-have-been-picked pass just before the game winner.

His luck has defied logic going back to last year.

It's hard to project it continuing.

 

[12forlife]

OKAY LOLOLOL So Geno had a "Come from Behind" "comeback WIN" over the NATION'S NUMBER ONE DEFENSE, 'The Cleveland Browns', so what's your next EXCUSE as to why he's not IN THE TOP TEN??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!

Not sure if your being serious? Did u watch the last half of the 1st quarter through the first half of the 4th quarter? Geno was awful once again. He is either missing wide open receivers, or forcing passes where he shouldn't.

Oh, stop it with these accurate facts. And it's not just the last few weeks. Dropped picks happened a lot last year too.
If he just starts taking better care of the ball, he could be a damn good QB.

My favorite thing about the Geno detractors is how they apparently miss all of the other QBs in the league doing the same things Geno is doing. Mahomes has had the luck of the gods on his side when it comes to ints the past two seasons, but only one of you (fade of all people) have ever mentioned that when "Geno is no Mahomes" is brought up. Watch more games than just the Seahawks to get some perspective please.

Mahomes is the INT Luck god of all gods. (For a career). Not sure on where he is at this season.

Mahommes wins rings. When Geno does that, get back to us.
