As a WVU fan I seen this coming 10 years ago. I'm being serious, early in his career he was obviously thrown into a bad situation in NY and clearly wasn't ready. Although he had flashes, just couldn't stop turning the ball over. Couldn't read the field well and didn't have a decent O-Line. Anyway this is the Geno all us WVU fans and Geno fans thought he could become. He was a top 5-8 QB in the NFL this year and made the Pro Bowl. I Know he had a year with the Giants and Chargers as well, but this is the Geno I thought he could be. Happy for him.
IMO this was Pete's greatest coaching job in Seattle yet. Getting this team to the playoffs and bringing Geno back from the dead were both pretty unexpected, he deserves a lot of credit. Feels like the beginning of something special again, just need better line play.
I couldn’t agree, more. When he traded Russell Wilson and decided to go with Geno, I thought, “REALLY?!” Then, doubled-down and had a great draft with Charles Cross, Kenneth Walker III and Tariq Woolen. Finished 9-8, which is not bad under the circumstances.
@@genetakovic2508well they honestly had every reason to believe that. Seattles biggest problem the 2 years prior to geno starting was terrible play calling. Like watching games was so annoying bc they had all this talent but would go 3 and out every drive until the 4th quarter when it was too late
Honestly, I believe this team will be a major contender next year. Sure, they just lost to the 49ers, but the signs are all there: grit, determination and talent.
The man had a fantastic season. I think he’ll be even better in 2023 with a full year and another full offseason as a starter under his belt along with the connection he has with his skill players and the chemistry they’ve built. Excited to watch him next season.
Geno Smith Waited For Years To Prove that He Belongs When He Had to Step up in crunch time He delivered can't wait to see what the future holds For Him💯
Long time Geno fan.I think I saw every game snap he took in college. I always felt if he got a chance he would eventually do what he has proven this year. Very proud of him. I always followed him over the professional years. Seahawks to the Super Bowl 2024.
@@Bairom06 They gave him a chance, but he blew it. The NFL set up a private workout for him with 25 teams present at the Atlanta falcons facility. Colin wanted to bring his own camera crew and the NFL said no, so Colin decided to go to a high school instead to do his own workout where he filmed it.
truly one of the biggest surprises for me this season, and honestly no one could've seen this coming from him, for sure one of the best season of his NFL Career, what a resurgence Geno Smith has had in Seattle
@@willardmatsaudza3101 he always had it just never had the right time to show case it because the jets never give there Qbs any weapons to utilize their talent
When I saw Geno's first TD pass of the season, I immediately thought "This dude's gonna have a surprise breakout year, isn't he?" And I'm very happy to see the hawks finally utilizing tight ends again. Dissly, Fant & Parkinson were a huge part of Geno's success this season.
@@MajinScep I wish him the best. I'm just saying as a Raiders fan, I hope we make a play for him. He reminds me of Rich Gannon. Never really got a legit shot. Hung around. Learned his craft and became awesome around 32 when he got a legit shot. I watched the plays he made in this video - so much better than Derek Carr. In my view, he's going to get paid 25 to 30 million next year. Is Seattle willing to pay that?
@@mynameisgladiator1933 If they can't come to an agreement Seattle will just franchise tag him and trade him. if they do, I think the Jets (ironically enough) may trade for him.
@@scvboy1 Franchise Geno Smith? No way. He has had exactly ONE good season and he's 32. Seattle would have to pay him $40 Million dollars with the tag. That's not happening. At $40 million dollars, he'd be as tradable as Derek Carr is at $40 million dollars. My question is if seattle wants to pay even $30 million dollars which is likely the market for a guy with huge question marks but had a really good year.
No one thing he can do is something he's incredible at, but he can do a bit of everything which means he can win matchups by playing to the other team's weakness.
Like 50 Cent said(paraphrasing)"It never happens on your time and you when you expect it to, it happens when it's supposed to happen." Geno Smith's season is a prime example of that sentiment. The fact his story went like this makes it all the more special. He was a legit top 5 NFL QB this season after all he's been through. Don't be surprised if he takes them to the NFC title game next year if they have a good offseason.
In just 1 year, Geno Smith went from many football fans surprised to learn he was even still in the league, to a Pro Bowl starter that was Top-5 in the league in Passer Rating, who led the Seahawks to a winning season and a playoff berth. Hope he wins Comeback Player Of The Year, too. He's a MUCH better quarterback than the terrible teams he's been on most of his career have made him look.
He’s had to learn from the School of Hard Knocks a few times in his career, but it looks like it’s all coming together for him. Now they have JSN to put in the slot with Lockett and DK outside. This offense looks scary.
No quarterback played better football than this man last year. The dude was out of his mind. Guys may have bested in him total numbers.. but nobody played better football than geno smith last year
Geno surprised a lot of people last season. This team may cause a LOT of people headaches in 2023. He’s got a young team, and obviously, their confidence is extremely high. They clearly believe in his leadership. You get a bunch of young guys and their old general leading them, and it’s could be like a boulder rolling downhill. They’re probably gonna be a lot better than 9-8 this year once they shore up their run defense.
It’s crazy that many people, especially media talking heads think 2022 was an outlier smh I’m confident he’ll have an even bigger and better year in 2023
To go from possibly top 5 pick to a 10 win team and he was a HUGE reason love to see it and I think Pete Carrol deserves credit as well bc this team has a beautiful future with a very young core and a boat load of Draft picks
Really hope Tyler Lockett made the pro bowl, I always thought Geno was trash but he looked damn good this past year. He's gonna have a full off-season to work.....excited to see what he does in the up coming year. And I'm a Saints fan
Pay the man. Hes proven he can win games with Seattle, I think this is the best place for him to succeed. Give him a 3 year contract laden with performance incentives to keep him hungry. Shore up the D esp the run defense. Find someone at center to compete and some depth at RB. We have the pieces at WR and TE that we need, Geno can make the throws. Fix the D and this team can compete.
This is only his third season as a starting quarterback. I’m glad he finally got his real chance. The funny fact is Geno’s path might be the reason Zack Wilson gets another chance somewhere else.
My pick 4 comeback player of the year no doubt about it... I mean he was considered a decent backup at best after the colossal bust of a performance after the Jets drafted him. I'm sure this dude is truly a proud recipient of Pete Carrolls' genius..
He’s the biggest surprise for me this season. Nobody seen this coming from him. Definitely his best season of his NFL career.
I saw this coming
And I hear... ChaChing!
More people would agree with you if Brock Purdy didn't exist, buut Geno has definitely been up there as a pleasant surprise
Best season... So far.

You can't be serious
Geno opening the door to a lot of seasoned veterans getting a second chance to be starters
I think Ryan Tannehill cracked the door a bit open with his brief revival, but Geno Smith just blew it wide open.
Jacoby Brissett being better than advertised for the Browns didn't hurt either.

They wrote me off I didn’t write back -Geno Smith
Such a fun season. Seattle has a lot of work to do on defense but this offense was impressive.
Geno throws one of the prettiest balls in the NFL. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him throw anything but a tight spiral.
He is my Comeback Player of the Year !

Even though we lost in a ugly game this was a great season for the hawks and thanks geno and always Go Hawks!
I’m so proud of Geno Smith this year it was a blessing to see him comeback the way he did was rooting for him since his West Virginia Days
We don't write back around here. So happy for Geno!
Not even a Seahawks fan. But Geno played lights out this season for you guys. He definitely earned a shot to start next season.
The way geno threads the ball in the middle JSN is gonna be a top tier wide receiver next year watch.
Love the story of Geno “ProBowler” Smith.
He did more than game manage. And to have two 1,000 yard receivers is pretty impressive
Thank you to the NFL for putting my highlights on RUclips for the other QBs to learn from.
I like Geno Smith I didn't at first coming in the league but he's really matured he's a great quarterback
Man...what an absolute BEAST! I'm so excited for this next season...Seattle is primed for a deep run,and he's definitely ready for it
People say biggest surprise this season. Could be one of the biggest of the past decade, arguably. What a guy.
God bless Geno Smith, so cool to see Geno keep his faith and what it can do!
It’s amazing what Pete caroll has done with geno smith. Dude has resurrected and sharpend geno smith’s career. Dude looks good

I am a Bears fan but I am happy for this dude. I love when guys bring their career back as long as they arent in our division 😂
Gotta respect this man. He's worked his ass off for years trying to be a starter. He did outstanding.
That touchdown to Lockett against the saints has to be pass of the year. Absolutely remarkable
Great season. Next season is ours💯
“I ain’t write back tho” good szn for geno
I forgot how good of a year the tight ends had! Soooo freakin refreshing
The real comeback player of the year, and the most accurate passer in the league babyyy
That throw to Lockett at 7:13, geezus, thats a Manning, Brady esque throw
Insane throws
Can't wait for next season. So many winnable games last season costly interceptions and bad run defense was killer.

That game winner to DK against the Rams and Ramsey is sooo satisfying.
