The Seattle Seahawks will open the season with Geno Smith under center as the team's starting quarterback. He beat out Drew Lock.

It’ll also be fascinating to see how much room Pete Carroll gives Geno Smith when it comes to making mistakes. Now, it’s officially a done deal and the former West Virginia star is the starting quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. “He’s earned it.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Geno Smith is the choice as the first replacement for Russell Wilson at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.

After months of speculation, the Seattle Seahawks and head coach Pete Carroll have finally named a starting quarterback for Week 1.

Stroud, and even the [unproven commodity](https://heavy.com/sports/seattle-seahawks/anthony-richardson-2023-nfl-draft-florida/) with terrific arm strength in Anthony Richardson. If the Seahawks want a top-tier quarterback at the top of next year’s draft, they’ll likely have to bottom out and have a dreadful season to snag a top pick. However, the competition took an [unexpected turn](https://heavy.com/sports/seattle-seahawks/drew-lock-covid-starter-bears/) almost immediately after Lock was named the starter against Chicago when he tested positive for COVID-19. Smith started all 16 games, but the team went 8-8 with him as a starter while he completed just 55.8 percent of his passes with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. He finished his time in Morgantown with 11,662 yards, 98 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions with a 67.4 completion percentage. The Seahawks

Lance has the upside to end that wait and the Niners may well become Super Bowl favourites if he is as advertised. While San Francisco might have to sacrifice some efficiency for him to succeed, the numbers indicate he is up to the job. The 38-year-old's ridiculous consistency is fuelling thoughts of him going deep into his 40s, a la Brady; however, Rodgers' time to win a second ring is running out. It sounds risky, and there is an inherent danger in San Francisco moving into the Trey Lance era. Across the final five weeks of the season, the Chiefs averaged 283.6 net passing yards per game, the fourth-most in the NFL. He finished in the top five in Efficiency Versus Expected among quarterbacks in expected passing situations in 2019 and 2020 before an injury derailed 2021 campaign and, since taking over as the Ravens' starter in 2019, has averaged more yards per carry (6.36) than any other player in the NFL. Carr has the accuracy to reap the benefits of playing with Adams as Rodgers did. His stunt-adjusted pass rush win rate of 43.4 per cent was the fifth-highest among edge rushers with at least 100 one on one matchups. He was second (3.4) and first (3.9) in the same metric in 2019 and 2020. are set to face internal challenges in their bid to remain atop the AFC West. It is a tall order for Hainsey to reach that level in his first season as a starter. Brown arrived in Philadelphia after racking up 1,000-yard seasons in two of his three campaigns with the Tennessee Titans.

Why did Pete Carroll choose Geno Smith over Drew Lock as the Seahawks' successor to Russell Wilson to begin the NFL season? It's always all about the ball.

Then Lock threw what should have been a touchdown pass to Hart, who has to be stronger on the ball with his hands than he was. “The easy answer is anytime you miss a game, it sets you back, whether it’s preseason or regular season,” said Lock, whose disappointment was all over his flushed face. “We’ve been one of the best in the NFL for years (with Wilson) taking care of the football...it’s been really hard to get it away from us. “It’s a huge, it’s a huge statement, taking care of the football,” Carroll said on his way out of Texas into Saturday morning. Two of Lock’s interceptions were the fault of his receivers, Dee Eskridge and Aaron Fuller. But his long coaching history shows Carroll is stuck on the mistakes. I learned really quickly that it takes the quarterback’s main job is to protect the football, as well as scoring points and being dynamic and all those things. On Seattle’s first possession Smith got sacked on a play Lock probably would have escaped and extended. Lock entered for Seattle’s second possession, with the same unit minus second-string center Kyle Fuller replacing starter Austin Blythe. The backup to Wilson the last three Seahawks seasons led the starting offense minus wide receiver DK Metcalf and guard Gabe Jackson down the field to points and the early lead. Smith started against the Dallas Cowboys, for the third consecutive preseason game. “Coach preaches it every, single day,” Geno Smith said late Friday night.

He did a good job with his feet placement and was able to stay in front of his rushers. Friday’s game was the first time we got to see him in action as he’s missed time with a shoulder injury. He didn’t play in 2020 but then played eight games for the First, he got called for a roughing the passer penalty in Week 1. Overall, it was a really good day for the Cowboys rookie draft class. Another name to add to the list was fifth-round rookie tackle Matt Waletzko. Then, he got flagged for illegal hands to the face in Week 2. Granted, it was a poor decision by the Seahawks quarterback, but Wright still diagnosed the play correctly and came up with the pick. Unfortunately, he needs to stop his aggression a little sooner because he continues to get called for some type of personal foul penalty. Will that play be enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster? With each new game, Ferguson is proving more and more that he was a fantastic value pick in April’s draft. The team was already treading water at the swing tackle position before he got hurt, and now it looks like they’re slowly sinking.

With Geno Smith the new Seahawks' starting QB, Stacy Rost details why he was the pick as well as what's next for Jimmy Garoppolo.

11, the 49ers would be on the hook for the full deal. And for the Seahawks, that isn’t worth the gamble in a primetime reunion with Russell Wilson in Week 1. But the deal landed them a 25-year-old quarterback and the team may be intrigued enough to start Lock during the regular season. Garoppolo remains with the 49ers, though the team has publicly committed to moving on to Trey Lance. (Don’t overlook another important factor, which is that Carroll has pointed all offseason to Smith’s grasp of the offense.) Lock’s stat line through two games is 23-of-37 (62%) for 249 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a fumble.

Arcega-Whiteside didn’t play a snap and for now doesn’t appear to be a candidate for a roster spot. Backup receivers in general: Swain’s struggles highlighted a receiving corps that without DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett on the field didn’t inspire a ton of confidence. He’s been battling a hamstring issue but indicated last week he’s close to being ready to go. LB Joshua Onujiogu: The undrafted rookie free agent from Division III Framingham (Mass.) State has worked his way steadily up the depth chart of late and closed the preseason with a strong performance with one of Seattle’s three sacks against Dallas. As always, preseason stats have to be taken with some grain of salt and the knowledge that there are few starters on the field. It’s what he didn’t do — turn the ball over.
