One of the Seahawks' biggest recent success stories, quarterback Geno Smith has been excellent under center. He still doesn't always get credit where it's due.
Smith was on a backup contract when he was the starter in 2022 before signing a three-year, $75 million contract in 2023 — a number that is now $30 million below the top of the market. Paired with an excellent two years under center, Smith is viewed as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.. Smith wasn't included, wasn't an honorable mention and didn't receive a single vote. The list was compiled by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler who gathered input from scouts, executives and coaches.
Smith not getting a single vote is astounding on many levels. It's especially egregious when you consider our own Corbin Smith's, which is an attempt to quantify a quarterback's success relative to their cost. Smith explains it like this: The Bang For Buck QB Index comprises nine different statistical metrics, including passing yardage, touchdowns, interception rate, passer rating, and game-winning drives, which help illustrate which players come through most in the clutch.
What is also baffling is those who got votes over Smith. Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy, Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield all received votes over Smith. Doesn't seem right, does it? The West Coast bias rears its ugly head once again. It's okay, though — Smith's 2024 season will open their eyes.
