When the post-Russell Wilson era begins in Seattle, it will be veteran quarterback Geno Smith under center for the Seahawks.

Smith, who signed with the Seahawks as a free agent in 2019, has three seasons' worth of familiarity under his belt, including three starts in place of an injured Wilson during the 2021 season. He's going to keep growing and pushing and developing as a fantastic player. Ultimately, that setback was too much for Lock to overcome. This year, the Seahawks were among a number of teams with a quarterback competition that would be decided during training camp. He'll give us the best chance to be playing great football right off the bat. As the preseason wound down, it became more and more evident that Smith would be QB1, which was confirmed by head coach Pete Carroll following Seattle's preseason finale.

Geno Smith's time finally arrives for Seahawks (The Columbian)

SEATTLE — When Geno Smith was last a full-time starter to begin a season in the NFL, he was just a kid in relative terms.

It was Wilson’s finger injury last season that opened the door for Smith to get back on the field. By the time 2015 started, Smith was better known for being punched and suffering a broken jaw at the hands of a teammate in a locker room disagreement. When Smith starts on Monday night, he’ll be the first QB in 50 years with at least an eight-year gap between opening day starts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. In the time since, Smith slid into the role of backup wherever he went. He was beginning his second season with the New York Jets and after leading them to an 8-8 record in his rookie season. Smith beat out Drew Lock for the starting job, although Smith was always in the lead and never fell behind.

SEATTLE, Wash. — With all the talk about Russell Wilson returning to Seattle for an alleged “revenge game,” it was Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith who ...

“He can get the ball out of his hands, working with his line and his guys and all that. He was kind of the guy that started all that. And remember all the catch and run stuff and all the quick rhythm stuff that he was famous for, that was so the quarterback didn’t have to be carrying the load. He designed his offense to make it as easy as possible for the quarterbacks because he knew the position was so hard to play. This exactly fits Carroll’s quarterback preferences over time, and why he was okay in the end with trading Wilson to Denver for three players and a horde of draft picks. So far, Geno Smith has been exactly that guy.
