Reminder: Geno Smith, Paxton Lynch were exciting prospects at one point

With continued fortune, none of the following however-many-words-this-take (writer’s note: it was too many words) should matter when it comes to the Seahawks. We hope to not see either of these two start a game for Seattle — ever — so this is more of a general piece of reflection. A reflection on college stats, the NFL Draft, quarterback competitions, and just how damn unlikely it is that any quarterback will ever succeed on the professional level.

This is a story about two quarterbacks who similarly went from high-profile prospects with boundless possibilities to those days being so forgotten about that we dread the idea of them having to take a snap in a regular season game.
