The first introduction Quandre Diggs received to the personality of Geno Smith came on a Saturday night in October in Austin, Texas, a decade ago. FOX13
Smith was confident, cocky and carried himself with a swagger to match as the then-quarterback for West Virginia. He talked trash and then backed it up with how he played on the field. In that game, Smith threw four touchdowns in a 48-45 win for West Virginia.
It’s a more mature version, molded and shaped by a decade of NFL hardship. But now that Smith is thriving, with a season to date that’s among the best of any quarterback in the league so far this season."I think it’s a mixture of talent and mental stability. I think those things are coming into a good combination right now," Smith said. "I’ve always had those two things, so it’s more so just me being in the light versus doing it in the shadows.
There has been a lot of apologizing for many of those preseason takes in the days and months that have followed with how Smith has played. He was supposed to be a placeholder until Seattle could use its draft capital obtained from the Wilson trade to go out and get its quarterback of the future in the 2023 draft. That may still be what Seattle does, but its quarterback of the present could end up being the best option for the Seahawks.
