In the first press conference after Russell Wilson was traded, Pete Carroll went on an insanely long spiel about “second chances” and the Seattle Seahawks’ team philosophy. Geno Smith was even cited as one of those examples of a second chance player.
For all we know, Geno might be the new starting quarterback of the Seahawks, a whopping eight years removed from the last time he was QB1. If that’s the case, then it’s fitting for a team that has had an utterly bizarre fixation with one of the worst draft classes in recent history.
