SUMMARY
- Geno Smith has not been performing well for a few seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.
- Geno Smith made a statement to improve his performance.
American football’s versatile quarterback, Geno Smith, has been upset with his performance over the past few years. Eugene Cyril Smith III, commonly known as Geno Smith, posted about his poor run of form since 2022 on his X account.
But he also said he is confident and motivated to return to his best in the new season. On March 23, 2024, the quarterback, via social media, stated, “Not good enough! I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been in my life.” Smith made this statement in contrast to a post from MLFootball that shared his stats since 2022.

Smith was simply a beast during his early days in the league, but as days passed, he appeared to lose his potential. However, his performance is not so bad, but the quality he held during his college days is nowhere near that.
Geno Smith’s stats comparison with NFL’s top performers since 2022
According to the post from MLFootball on X, Smith’s stats show he covered 7,906 passing yards, 67.4 pass completion percentage, and passing yards per game of 247.1. He also has 50 passing touchdowns and a 1.9 interception percentage.
If the quarterback’s stats are compared with the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and a few others, he is much behind them. In the past two seasons, Mahomes covered 9,433 passing yards, and Allen covered 8,589 yards. Jake Browning holds the record for most passing completion percentage with 70.4, and Smith is behind him. The Chiefs quarterback’s passing yards per game is 285.8, and Allen’s is 260.3.
In terms of passing touchdowns, Mahomes and Allen are also ahead of Smith with 68 and 64, respectively. By comparing the interception percentage, Smith is also behind the two. Mahomes interception percentage is 2.1, and Allen’s is 2.8.
These stats don’t show Smith’s true caliber and capability. It is readily acceptable if these stats are of any other player in the league. Since beginning his NFL journey, Smith has been compared with the best players, and the stats since 2022 have not helped him compete with them.
Geno Smith’s college stats
If fans saw Smith’s stats at West Virginia University, they would get an idea of how good he was. From his past two seasons’ performances, it’s not good to judge the 33-year-old. The quarterback played 44 games in college and recorded 26-13.
Smith completed 988 passes from 1,465 attempts, and his pass completion percentage is 67.4. The quarterback covered 11,662 passing yards, made 98 touchdowns, and made 21 interceptions. Besides, Smith attempted 245 rushes and covered 342 rushing yards. These stats showcased that if Smith got his form back in the new season, he could wash out any individual.
