Geno Smith is Dave Krieg….

[Echawks]

He is either the greatest QB in the league or the absolute worst.. No middle ground.

 

[Seahawks fan]

He just isn't it, I've been a Geno supporter the past 3 seasons defending him, But this INT fest he's putting on this year is killing me and has killed my support for him as the QB for this team moving past this year..

 

[Echawks]

Then he does that

 

[cymatica]

Seems more like just some boneheaded mistakes surrounded by elite play

 

[Torc]

Nah. Krieg was either hot or cold the entire game. He didn't go back and forth in the same one.

 

[nwHawk]

I watched all of Kreig’s games, and Geno is not the same QB. Kreig on this team would be fun to watch.

 

[James in PA]

I've made that comparison many times. The game didn't need to be quite that interesting but we got it done. That's all I care about.

To Geno’s credit, he is making something happen with an offense that can’t consistently run between the Tackles.

Good point. In that way they are different. Geno is more on an in-game rollercoaster, while Krieg was one from game to game.

Geno was his best when he had Dave Caneles as his QB coach imo

 

[Nosferatu]

As others have said, the big difference is you get "great Geno" and "bad Geno" in the same game. As long as "great Geno" > "bad Geno" in the end, then I am ok with it.

 

[Aircrew]

I said essentially the same thing recently.

 

[IndyHawk]

I agree totally.

 

[Smellyman]

Geno is carrying the whole offense on his back

Exactly. Look I ain't the biggest Geno fan but this oline / lack of running game is putting a lot of pressure on him this season.
They are asking too much of him because they don't have a choice. A couple of decent guards and I think this offense is whole 'nother animal.

I can accept that I'm too hard on Geno at times, and he does do a lot of things very well, but his decision making in the red zone is just inexcusable for an alleged veteran QB. We're not always going to get away with it. Hell, we probably win the Lions game at least if his brain doesn't do whatever the hell it does deep in opponent territory. I don't fault anyone who wonders whether we'd be able to trust him in the playoffs. He's 34. We shouldn't be waiting for him to develop this stuff.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Dave Krieg retired top 10 in all-time passing yards I believe, and he actually won a playoff game or two.

There's a reason why Smith was riding the bench for so long. Dude is trying to be something he's not even close to being, and that is an elite QB. He's just not. The numbers don't lie. Dude is 6'4 and is getting batted balls and tipped passes at least once a game, it's ridiculous. The rate he's going right now, I think the Seahawks will let him walk after the season. If they extend this guy I'm not gonna be happy and he can take Grubb with him.

Very true and reasonable post.
