No QB can play at a perfect level the entire season, but when Smith was on he was ON.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith may have been the biggest surprise of the entire 2022 NFL season. For the first five weeks of the year he was throwing like a legitimate MVP candidate. In the end, he finished with a top-10 kind of performance and won himself the Comeback Player of the Year award.

Let’s get re-acquainted with Geno Smith’s game by watching what he did in college and during his time as the starter of the Jets.
Geno Smith will be re-signing with the Seahawks on a one-year deal. The Seattle Times has reported his base salary is $3.5 million with incentives that can push the total as high as $7 million. While that’s not a lot of money for a modern quarterback, Smith returns as the clear favorite to start at quarterback in Week 1.
There’s still an outside chance the team could draft a QB prospect this year, but unless Malik Willis falls to No. 9 it’s unlikely. We can also safely assume that options like Baker Mayfield and Colin Kaepernick are off the board. Bottom line – Seahawks fans should assume for now that Smith is their QB1.
