NFL expert gives Seahawks QB Geno Smith harsh but fair ranking

Wiki Article

Last year around this time we were calling Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith a fringe top-10 starter in the NFL. Meaning Smith usually plays at an above-average level and occasionally has a brilliant game or two, but he's not an elite talent at his position. While we saw a new high we didn't know was po sible from Smith in the game against the Cowboys last season, overall he has been surpa sed by a few younger quarterbacks. That would be , Jordan Love of the Packers and Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars.Heading into the 2024 season, Smith is now getting ranked somewhere between the 13th-best and the 18th-best starter in the league. The latest also have him in that range, slotting him in at No. 17 Josh Jones Jersey on his list. Here is the complete list of QBs who he has ranked ahead of Geno right now.1. Patrick Mahomes - Chiefs2. Josh Allen - Bills3. Lamar Jackson - Ravens4. Justin Herbert - Chargers5. Brock Purdy - 49ers6. Joe Burrow - Bengals7. Jalen Hurts - Eagles8. C.J. Stroud - Texans9. Jordan Love - Packers10. Dak Prescott - Cowboys11. Matt Stafford - Rams12. Aaron Rodgers - Jets13. Jared Goff - Lions14. Tua Tagovailoa - Dolphins15. Kirk Cousins - Falcons16. Trevor Lawrence - Jaguars17. Geno Smith - SeahawksWe'd make the case that Smith deserves to be ranked ahead of both Ross Travis Jersey Cousins and Purdy, and on some Sundays he's definitely better than Goff. However, even then Smith would only end up ranked No. 14 on this list and there's a hard ceiling just above him.Then again, we may not have seen Smith reach his full potential just yet. While that's a wild take about a 33 year-old QB, it's also true that this new and improved version of Smith has blo somed into a great competitor despite having an atrocious offensive line and an average-at-best offensive playcaller. Now that Smith will get to work with the highly-acclaimed Ryan Grubb, we may see Smith break out again and start Rondale Moore Jersey playing at an even higher level than we have in 2022-2023.The x-factor is of course how well Grubb and Smith overcome what's projected to be one of the worst offensive lines in the league. PFF has in the NFL right now. While Smith has done an exceptional job of avoiding pre sure and making plays, until the pa s protection takes a huge step forward he just won't be able to produce at the level the Seahawks need to beat the 49ers and win the division. Whatever happens this coming season, general manager John Schneider has to make a real investment in the offensive line next year.
