Charles Romes Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I can’t believe he managed to put up that kind of season with real game reps being so limited for so long. Kind of reminded me of our own Todd Collins who rode the bench for a decade in Washington. Then led the team to the playoffs out of nowhere.

colin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 between this and what car signed for, it seems like a starting qb in the nfl who is at or above replacement quality costs 35MM per year. based on that, Jackson in baltimore will get 50+ with like 200 guaranteed. similar for dude on the chargers.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm curious to see what is guaranteed money. Because Seattle has Denver's 1st round and 2nd round picks for the next two drafts I absolutely can see them front loading guarantees and then scouring project rookies in the next two years. With a reliable if unspectacular vet at QB locked up, they can afford to do their homework. Can you imagine them trading back again this year to get three first rounders?

He could always throw pretty well, and his best attribute is his ability to be very accurate on short passes. He needed to figure out how to play QB in the NFL.

Cap keeps increasing and so few decent QBs in the league. If you think you have one you sign him. Plus this is only 3 years and Carr is 4 so no real long term issues if they both fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Good for Geno. He has persisted, including through all the butt-fumble jokes, and had a competent season last year. This deal does not say that Seahawks are committed to him as "the guy". It covers their downside and still lets them draft a QB who can transition over the next 3 years.

Don Otreply Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Good for Geno, he has gone from being a pathetically bad QB to a serviceable QB, and he cashed in at a rate to high for his actual skill set, yet by current standards acceptable for that skill set. Thats the sort of money you pay a guy like Lamar Jackson, a serviceable QB that can get you to the playoffs every other year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ seemed to give up on his NFL career easily. He was signed by the Chiefs in the 2019 offseason to be a backup but retired just a couple months later to work for the ACC Network as an analyst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. Pete Carroll is an everything guy at this point. He's been around this game long enough in both the NFL and College to have had his hands in all of it. He got the absolute most out of Wilson, who looked like a bum this year away from Seattle. Now he is getting the most out of Geno in his time as the starting QB. The same Geno who had accomplished 0 to this point. Edited March 8, 2023 by H2o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a lot more like it. See? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
