Geno Smith will be leading the Seahawks rather than Russell Wilson for the near future. We don’t know how long Wilson will be out with his finger injury, but we do know Smith is a significant step down at the most important position on the field – no matter how sharp he looked in his brief action against the Rams last week.
That said, Smith is the only logical answer to start for Seattle at this time. Since the Seahawks haven’t shown any interest in free agent QBs as of yet, the only other candidate at the moment is Jake Luton – who’s on the practice squad and should probably stay there. That means Smith is the guy at least for now. Before 7 takes over, let’s examine a few questions worth asking.
