For the first time since the 2012 season, the Seattle Seahawks will start a season with a new quarterback. For much of the past six months, the question was whether that quarterback would be the boom or bust (but mostly bust) Drew Lock or the yawn-inducing, game-managing Geno Smith.
On August 26th, we got our answer: Pete Carroll confirms Geno Smith will be the Seahawks’ Week 1 starting quarterback.
Now, it should be noted that Pete Carroll never said that he expected Geno Smith to be the starter all season. Pete didn’t even say that Geno would start the Week 2 game in San Francisco.
