NFL history is littered with guys like Geno that wash out early, stick around, and then flourish. Like our own Lenny Dawson, for example. Jim Plunkett. Rich Gannon.

Happy for Geno. Good for him. Takes guts to keep going in spite of the odds.

You forgot Damon Huard. Legendary Kansas City Chiefs great

LOLZ.

I truly try very hard to forget Damon Huard as much as I possibly can.

If attitude was an issue at one point, the beginning of his career definitely humbled him in a big way. On top of that, guys with supposed "attitude problems" will usually carry the biggest chip when they are slighted, so that only helps his cause for the present if he can also mature enough to focus that anger and energy into his craft, which he clearly has.

Your point about Murray is spot on, too. Biggest difference is obviously the schools they played for and the national spotlight Murray captured. Smith didn't have that luxury so any flaws were put under a microscope way more than they should have been.

LMAO Can't wait to see what insane deal he signs this offseason

Geno is going to be a problem for us.

looking ahead here...

geno has a knock down drag out fight with the niners this week and then he has to come to KC

the seahawks running game has been terrible the last month too

i think we blow the doors off geno LMAO

He’s doing all right, but he’s got to be 32 or 33 now

Somewhere out there a Jon Gruden needs his Rich Gannon...

Unless he has 2 first ballot hall of fame receivers to make him look good, like Gannon did, then good luck with that. Gannon was nothing more than a perfect storm/ flash in the pan.

I’m happy he is having success.

Happy that I MAY not have been wrong about this one after all!!!

Lets not forget how good Pete Carrol made Russel Wilson look all those years.

I know for years I was on the "just draft a damn QB!" wagon, but given what the Seahawks have and where they're at as a franchise, I'm not so sure if I wouldn't just extend Geno for 2-3 seasons.

Pete Carroll is 71. Granted, he's still pretty energetic and looks decent, but nobody has ever held a head coaching job past 73. I think Halas made it to 72, and I know Crennel cracked that record when he was serving as the interim for Houston a couple years ago. You're going to be looking for a new head coach sooner than later, and if the new guy isn't an instant sensation, you might just ride the veteran out with Carroll and then let the new guy have more choices when he takes over eventually.

If Houston keeps losing and secures the #1 pick, they'll probably take Bryce Young, and I really don't think CJ Stroud will be that good.

I don't think resigning Geno Smith is going to cost them THAT much.

If I were the Seahags, I resign Geno to a 2-3 year deal (what does he want?) and build up that defense.

Their offense is setup nicely right now at WR and RB, their defense just sucks ass (much like Geno's defense at WV).

Other elite QB's can't catch a ****ing break like Brady did with the Pats for a decade and half.
