While Smith is voicing all the appropriate concerns, some supporters worry that offensive coordinator Shane Waldron is failing to adequately address the issue. A key component of Pete Carroll’s teams, Seattle’s running game is significantly impacted by an injured Kenneth Walker III. Points might continue to be scarce if he is unable to regain his full health.

In addition to leading the underappreciated Seahawks to the postseason, Geno Smith turned in one of the most unexpected quarterback seasons in recent memory and cemented his place as an NFL starter. The campaign for 2023–24 has not gone as well. As of right now, he has 2,584 yards throwing, 12 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, and a worrisome QBR of 50.6.

However, the current CPOTY winner has already brought his career back to life once, so perhaps he can do the same for this struggling 6-5 team.
