To me one major lesson of Geno’s story is that it can take YEARS for a player to develop enough to be successful in the NFL. I feel like too many quarterbacks get drafted and are expected to perform at an elite level right away and it just doesn’t work well for most. More quarterbacks need to have the time to develop before they become starters.
As a mountaineer I prayed geno would succeed along with tavon Austin I thought those 2 would dominate the league unfortunately tavon didn't have the same type of career but hes got the greatest highlight reel in cfb history
I respect Geno and I’m happy for him. Often time the NFL puts these guys in impossible situations, don’t use the players correctly, don’t put a team around them, don’t give them time to develop, etc.
Being a Seahawks fan, this really got to me. Because I still have my person struggles in life. Geno Smith truly is an inspiration. I’m so proud of him with the way he turned his career around. And Pete Carroll deserves a lot of credit for helping him regain his confidence. One of the best comeback stories in NFL history. Keep going Geno!! Go Hawks!!
@@Nobody-su9km “I want to make sure that I go to a city that wants to win. I want to make sure I that I go to a team that wants to win. And I want to go to a city that knows how to win. And all those three things were checked off the box here in Denver” Does that not rub you the wrong way as a Seattle fan? Or are we just making up stories?
@@NotaThing13 Russ dedicated his life for seattle both on and off the field, yet all y'all gave back to him was hate, calling him fake, game manager, carried by the lob, corny, that every teammate hated him and blah blah blah blah. He made the second most winning organization in The 2010s decade and y'all spit on his face year after year, next time you want to point the finger at someone point at your self, most fake and disrespectful fanbase in sports. He is currently top 4 on QBs this season while Geno is struggling with a team of elite players to support him. Good luck and enjoying average QB play for the next 10+ years.
Geno may not be the best quarterback, he isn't the most athletic, he isn't the smartest, but he is the most resilient. His story, his journey and his leadership has earned him the right to be our starting QB, and when he comes to the podium after every game, he does not read any media script, he doesn't try to butter the situation, he says it as it is, and for some reason he makes me believe!
Why isn’t Pete Carroll ever in talk for coach of the year? Honestly if there’s 2 Coaches I would want to play for ever would be Pete Carroll and my team the Steelers Mike Tomlin… There’s is nothing these 2 men have not seen in the game of football. Also I do hope Geno brings success to Seattle and people that like them hope they agree too..
As is usually the case, the couch quarterbacks out there wanna rag on Pete for this one thing that happened when he left USC or one disastrous play in a Super Bowl; he loses a game and it's like "Oh Pete's lost it, fire him and get somebody younger, blah blah blah." No one wants to talk about how loved and respected he is in the locker room and how damn near every player in the NFL wants to play under his program, because he knows how to get the best out of every individual player no matter what their position or what stage of their career they're in. If you simply measure the sustained overall success of the Seahawks throughout Pete's tenure, he's racked up a resume that is every bit as good as Bill Belichick's, without the reputation as a tyrant. There's "The Patriot Way" and then there is "The Pete Way," which in reality is "The Players' Way," because he frees his players to be themselves on the field and play with abandon and have fun doing it. Pete treats his players like the professionals they are, and takes care of them -- "loves 'em up," as he likes to say. When Paul Allen hired Pete I was skeptical too; that vanished by his 3rd season. And what he's done for Geno after cutting Russell Wilson loose is why players love him. Pete always believed in Geno and as long as he continued to compete he'd give Geno his chance; and Geno paid Pete back with a stellar season as the starter. He's been a little bumpy this year but I remain confident he'll be able to figure it out, as long as he lets Pete coach him and he stays out of his own head too much. Compete, but HAVE FUN, Geno; HAVE FUN and let fortune come to _you._ You don't have to try to make every pass play a home run; just trust what you see and let the opportunity present _itself._ We're with ya 100% bruh. Prayin' you have a monster game against the Ravens tomorrow.
As a Seahawks fan, I would have to say on paper Pete’s resume doesn’t come close to Belichick’s. ON PAPER. That being said, I think Belichick is the most overrated head coach in the history of the nfl. Brady made that man. It was Brady picking apart defenses on his own. I think we have just about proven that Belichick isn’t that great and Pete may be a better coach all together being able to get the most out of his players and turn nothing into something.
i assume because the seahawks havent been one of the best teams for a decent minute and usually thats how it works. except for 2020. last time he was in was like 2018
I was one of those 12's who questioned Geno place on this team once Russ left. I am certainly happy for the man that he didn't write back. He is humble, driven and a great leader of men.. I am happy call him our QB.
I’m so happy to see where Geno’s @ today man!! And QB’in my Hawks!!! As a UDub Huskies fan, I watched West Virginia and became a big fan of him. I knew he could succeed in this league!! The city got ur back Geno!!!
As a Jets fan I am really glad to see Geno reaching his true potential. It's been so easy to label players failures or busts as if every franchise is the same. Sometimes players are drafted by crap franchises like the Jets.
I always liked geno as a kid and was a bandwagon fan but eventually and I’m thankful for falling in love with the 12s and always remembered him as a kid and was so happy to see him come back better than most QB’s in the league and we truly are so grateful for a non toxic, not a crybaby, and not babbied leader. I think any true settle fan knows who I’m talking ab *lets ride*
He was just ready and waiting for his moment. When he has an opportunity he capitalizes on a chance. He makes up for whatever happens. Accountablity. And thats what makes him so great.
I’m so proud to have Geno Smith as the quarterback for my team. While he may not be the best QB in the league, his passion and drive to continually improve is unlike anyone else’s.
I just got back to watching Football (wasn't watching due to personal reasons). I'm catching up on a lot of things. This makes me cry. 😭He's such an inspiration.
Its good to have a qb who puts team first not glory. Someone who is humble and realizes teams win games not individual players. alot of this teams success is Not just because of Genos play but because of Genos team first attitude (and team friendly contract). Alot of qbs never figure that out.
This year, we might have a chance, keep grinding, every week is championship opportunity to back to that 1 yard line again ! Damns, a decade has passed, and I still feel the pain. Only another SB victory will remove that pain.
From playing amazing at West Virginia university, drafter by the jets and failed out of the NFL. I’m so glad he’s doing what he’s doing, awesome story.
My dream matchup for the NFC championship this year is Geno & his Seahawks vs Kirk & his Vikings?! Assuming the 49ers, Cowboys & Eagles aren’t in that picture! Geno & Kirk are my fave QB’s in the NFC!
I remember when geno was a teenager coming to my neighborhood in Miami to play football with my lil homies lil chuck and peanut and them he was going to Miramar high school at the time damn I’m old
That story man. Years of just feeling like no one cares enough to really take a shot on him..finally the door squeaks open at the slightest..Wilson has a finger injury..in comes Geno and really never looked back and is in a place where Russell had the boys when we won so…All in All I Love Geno!💙💚
They said that Geno Smith would NEVER be a starting NFL Quarterback! Yet here he is! Been pulling for Geno ever since Jet fans kicked him to the curb...and he won his only game as a Giant. Let's Go Geno!
As a 12, I’m inspired by Geno’s evolution from backup to QB1. I mean, if Geno doesn’t motivate you to give it your all even when the chips are down the way Geno did, I don’t know what to tell you.
I like his story. He was all but done and made into a laughing stock in NY. He DID NOT look as if he knew what he was doing, but in Seattle, he looked good. he may have gotten nervous towards the end of his first few games as a starter, but he looked. Rex Ryan may have hated him and liked that he got his jaw broken and costing him his job - but he pulled through that as well. Seattle re-signed him and he is doing his thing. Now, we all know that worse QBs when he was wit The Jets, had gotten more time to turn into someone than he did, but some of us knows how it goes.
Even tho i hated when my Horns played him in college . I respect his game. He definitely has a resergence going on. I wish him the best especially against the forty whiners.
Regardless of which team you support, you can't not root for Geno and his story.
Me as a Ram fan CANT DISAGREE MORE WITH THIS COMMENT. We clapped him week 1, and hopefully we clap him again in 2 weeks.

Facts
also adequate and effective coaching and schemes!
To me the major lesson is: your QB can throw two ints per game, you still gonna win if you have actual skill position players.
He did sit behind Russell Wilson for awhile and does kinda have a similar playstyle now
Facts. That’s why I hate when people crap on players after a bad rookie year.

A difference between Geno and Rus. Russ says he wants to go to a city that wins. Geno says he's grateful for a city to believe in him.

literally just didn't get a real chance...until he did. Now he's BALLIN 🔥🔥
