Extend Geno? Soon?

[keasley45]

He already is on a multiyear contract

Players getting extended with a year left on a deal is pretty common. I think thats what's being asked.

 

[Atradees]

No.

 

[Seahawks fan]

I believe I voted "wait"... I'd like to change my vote to 'No'... This guy is a pick machine and I'm tired of defending him in that subject...

 

[Wartooth]

He has 3 huge redzone picks this year... Those are the ones that really sting!
I'd like to see them sort this QB situation out...
I Just hope they don't over draft one this year, with no clear franchise QB's in this draft.

Still a hard question. I’ll preface this with the following…I’m a fan of Geno. I love his leadership. I love his resilience. I love his mechanics and he’s as fundamentally sound as a QB can be.

I’d like to see him run the ball more when the opportunity presents itself. I’d also like to see him cut down on the boneheaded plays.

No player is without flaws. But the stuff Geno does sometimes…has me scratching my head. Take today’s red zone int…that’s a boneheaded throw. QBs are going to throw int’s…but the manner in which they occur can’t ‘look’ like that.

Those type of plays WILL separate teams come crunch time and/or playoff time.

Personally, my thoughts on extending him change from week to week. What I don’t want to do is be one of those teams who pays their QB 30% of the cap and weakens the rest of the roster.

I’m sure we all agree there.

Still a super hard question for sure.

he's now leading the NFL in picks no longer tied. 12 picks. That would be fine if he was throwing more TD's but he's not. 12/12 is a problem.

I’ve been saying this for a long time now, Geno Smith is bad in the red zone. It is bar none the weakest aspect of his game.

The Seahawks have had one of the poorest ranked red zone offenses since he has been our starter.

I’m lower on Geno than you are but this is a fair take for sure. He does so many things well and that’s what drives me nuts. His bad stuff is just things you don’t see 12 year vets making. He can make every throw and often does but his decision making is flat out bizarre at times.

I don’t think sign him unless is uber team friendly. If they do I’ll just hope another full off season with Grubb improve the results.

So damn real.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Is geno better than hasselbeck?

 

[Chuckwow]

Let Geno walk, roll with Howell, draft OL, sign Budda Baker.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Extend a guy who continues to throw red zone picks and makes boneheaded decisions? No thanks. He can be VERY good, but his red zone decisions are a problem. Excuses don't change what we see week after week. And yes he was good on that drive to put us up 10. But it doesn't excuse it in my mind.

I'm screaming at my seat WHY GENO, WHY?

 

[Fernie Hawks Fan]

Yep....I told the wife.."Well, my team won and are sitting in first place in the division!!!"...she says ..."Well what was all that screaming about earlier on?"

Me..."GENO!!!!"

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Is geno better than hasselbeck?

NO

 

[JustTheTip]

Is geno better than hasselbeck?

Ability? No question he is. As a complete QB? Hasselbeck was better.

 

[Sperrydogg]

I think in his prime hasselbeck was much more accurate, but he was never the same after he broke his leg

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well, Hass wouldn't throw picks in the red zone at the rate geNO is.

 

[JustTheTip]

Accuracy is just one part though. Geno is the much better athlete overall. Hasselbeck did much more with less (raw athletic talent and ability), enough so that he was the better QB.

 

[toffee]

Our OL, their low ranking was due to the OL or Geno?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Geno is still the one making ridiculous decisions in the red zone. I'm not buying that it's just the O Line. And I'm certainly not buying all the excuses he gets every week.
