Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith’s Redemption – Pt. 2 Coming to Seattle
It would have been nice if Smith led Seattle to a few more touchdowns, as the team averaged just 20.3 points per game. But this small three-game sample planted a seed.
That seed was what the Seattle Seahawks could be like without Wilson as their quarterback. The team could win games without the whole “Let Russ Cook” thing hovering over the Virginia Mason Athletic Center like a dark cloud.
To be honest, only two people actually saw this possibility, Head Coach Pete Carroll and General Manager John Schneider. Maybe that’s why they granted Wilson’s trade request and re-signed Smith to a 1-year, $7M contract.
They were in the minority. Not very many people saw Smith’s level of success this season happening.
As long as Geno plays at this level, the Seattle Seahawks will be in every remaining game this season. A comfort level that Seahawks fans didn’t have back in August.
The national media and big gambling organizations won’t favor the Seattle Seahawks to win many games. But 12s can feel good believing the Seahawks can win most of their remaining games.
