We all know the quote: 'They wrote me off, I ain't write back, though.'
They wrote me off, I ain't write back, thoughGeno Smith said those words immediately following the Seattle Seahawks' stunning win over the quarterback he replaced, Russell Wilson, and the team that traded for him, the Denver Broncos, in Week 1.
The backup years came next. First in 2017 with Eli Manning on the New York Giants, where he ended Manning’s starting streak only to be replaced the following game. Then for one season behind Philip Rivers with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018. When Smith finally landed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019, he knew he’d also be the backup to Wilson.
That dream is living out in reality through the first nine games of the 2022 season. The Seahawks are 6-3 with the NFL’s fourth-best scoring offense and Smith leads the league with a 73.1 completion percentage along with the sixth-most passing yards and fifth-most passing touchdowns.“A lot of [quarterbacks] would have folded having to deal with a lot of the s*** he had to deal with,” Quincy Avery, Smith’s quarterbacks coach, told Yahoo Sports. “And it’s a testament to him that he did it.
“It’s not in his DNA [to give up],” Cogdell told Yahoo Sports. “That’s the one thing about Geno: He is a kid of resilience.” "At that point, guys usually kind of just throw the towel in," Holgorsen told Yahoo Sports."But that’s not Geno’s makeup. He's gonna line up and play, compete and try to win every game no matter what."
