Calling it now, RW wins Comeback Player of the Year 2023 (does that apply if you played the year before, but just sucked??)

Russ: I've been doing everything I possibly can to get these puzzle pieces on offense to fit together.
Payton: Get in the fucking puzzle Russ.

Word on the street is that Payton will be paid $18 million a season. Wow.

I could see why you'd say that... but you also said Geno would suck this year and Lock was the next Joe Montana.D-train wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 11:52 pmMaybe he does.

Geno may well be a system QB, but that system is the Seahawks' system, so if he stays AND DK and Lockett are around, I don't see any reason he'd decline (excepting the obvious, like multiple injuries or DUIs). Did you see how he dominated the flag football game at the Pro Bowl thing? I know it doesn't mean much, but he was clearly better than the other QBs. I think he's for real.

Re: Every thing is about RW......
With the bigger sample of another season there likely be some regression, but I think this season was enough to show the kind of QB he is. He came into the league as a well regarded QB, he has had the skills.
From his draft scouting reports
From his draft scouting reports
Smith is known as a "gym-rat" type who is extremely dedicated to watching film. He is a natural leader, and he plays with great toughness, shrugging off big hits and craning his neck from the bottom of a pile to see the result of a play. He is an intense competitor who does not hide his disappointment on the sidelines, but this is also a good sign of leadership.
Scouts Inc. adds, "Mentally tough and never stops fighting."
Accuracy was probably his biggest issueWhile Smith does not have rare arm strength, he definitely has a strong arm to make every NFL throw with ease. He has shown the ability to make the far-side 15 yard out throw with excellent zip without setting feet and striding into throw.
. "Can be very accurate for long stretches but must improve consistency. Shows touch and timing. Highly accurate when he throws on balance, particularly short-to-intermediate."
"When he misses, he usually misses high due to poor footwork (which is correctable)—a bad tendency to have in the pros."
Given Smith's incredible accuracy when his feet are properly set underneath him, it seems clear that he'll be able to overcome his struggles in this area.
He wasn't ready to step into being a NFL QB. He had things to work on which is what he has been doing, that gym rat quality. He has made himself a better QB by putting the work in.Any doubts about Smith's athleticism were put to rest at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine.
He posted top marks in all three events he entered, including an impressive 4.59-second 40-yard dash. As a comparison, Cam Newton posted the exact same time when he ran his 40 back in 2011.
Conclusion
Smith has what it takes to evolve into an NFL quarterback.
That said, he's not ready to step into a team's starting lineup and perform at a high level. His footwork, accuracy and ability to read the field must improve, and Smith would be better off sitting behind a veteran for a year before becoming the starter for his new team.
If Smith lives up to his full potential in the NFL, he could easily work his way into the conversation as a top-10 signal-caller. He has the right attitude to achieve this goal, isn't afraid to put in the hard work and possesses all the physical attributes to make it happen.
