Here’s how it’s going, and why it’s going so poorly.
That reality is that, at least as of right now, Geno Smith is slated to be the starting quarterback for the 2022 Seahawks, and playing the entire first half of each of the first two preseason games, he managed to lead the offense to a grand total of 10 points.August 19, 2022
The counterargument to that is, of course, that Lock was set to start the debacle against the Bears before COVID sidelined him, but that ignores one key fact: Simply put, coaches get to see both Lock and Smith in practice every day. They see how much of the offense Lock can handle. They see what each can do on the field.
That of course discounts what Lock could potentially offer, but again, he’s been with the team for more than five months and if he were an unquestionably better option at the position, he would have started the preseason opener. Instead, he’s been playing second fiddle to Smith since arriving and missing out on the opportunity to start against Chicago in Week 1 of the preseason after contracting COVID.
The sportsbooks have no questions about what the results of the season will look like, with the over/under on wins for the, while the over/under for Wilson’s new team sits at 10. Given the performances of the team in the preseason, 5-12 or 6-11 likely isn’t far off the mark. The ‘Hawks have won seven games in all three seasons under Pete Carroll where Russell Wilson didn’t start 16 games, but that could be a best-case scenario for the group assembled for this season.
