The Seahawks QB competition (that never was?) is over! Geno Smith will start Week 1 against the Broncos
Carroll cited Smith’s familiarity with Shane Waldron’s offense as well as taking care of the ball among the reasons that he prevailed over Lock. In this preseason, Smith’s drives only yielded 13 points whereas Lock’s drives got 34 — yes, the context of who they were playing with and the depth charts they were playing against is absent here. Of course, Smith had no turnovers whereas Lock had three interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys and a costly fumble against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In camp, Smith has worked with the first-team almost exclusively, while Lock was working with backups. The one time he had sustained first-team reps he ended up getting COVID-19 and thus couldn’t start against the Chicago Bears last Thursday.
