Geno Smith is not worth $40 million a year. I have never been a big fan. I haven't hated him or anything, but I'm not bothered by him being traded. Lord only knows what is going on behind closed doors at Seahawks headquarters that our two biggest players wanted out. Might be a good thing, or maybe not.

If the Seahawks have an actual plan at QB, can sign a quality tackle in free agency, and use the draft capital they have to add another offensive lineman, continue to bolster the defense, and add a tight end worth a shit, they could be re-building on the fly. I think the also need a running back. Walker is a total bust.
 
Has to be a tanking intent, right? Name the last good significant (intended starter) free agent QB signing, where the team actually became better. Brady is the answer and that's quite a special circumstance. Before him it is probably Cousins in Minn.
Getting out of the mediocre middle is essential.

If Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl, it's always possible with a great defense
 
That's 25 years ago now.
Sure there is probably still a path with a great defense and an average offense, but the last team like that was basically Manning's Broncos. Every decent team has to have a QB who is either elite on a QB contract or is average on a cheap contract, and then have tons of help around their averageness.

Darnold at his salary and age is certainly a better strategy for Seattle than Smith.
 
I highly doubt the Seahawks offered Geno $40 million+. They probably offered him $35-38 million with incentives. Maybe they only offered a 1-2 year extension. Geno only has 2 decent years left.

...& he lives for moments like this.

For those that don't remember this reference… I believe it was 2018. USC at WSU. A game that Stalin had publicly predicted that WSU would win by the way.
The Doofus announcers kept referring to Darnold with "Sam Darnold lives for moments like this."
Late in the game, USC stopped WSU and got the ball back on their own 25 as I recall. The camera zooms in on Darnold, and once again …. "Sam Darnold LIVES for moments like this!" Then one or two plays later, he gets strip-sacked and WSU recovers… and goes on to win the game. And even though I had predicted WSU to win, Pup taunted me by saying that he had predicted it and I had piggy-backed on his football takes.
