For years, the Seattle Seahawks were widely recognized as having perhaps the best deep ball throwing quarterback in the NFL. In 2023, it could very well still be the same case.
Quarterback Geno Smith turned heads last year as he emerged as a legitimate Pro Bowl caliber player, even winning the Comeback Player of the Year award. Smith set a Seahawks single-season passing yards record, and he did so in part by throwing it over the top of defenses routinely.

If Smith can replicate the success he had last year, then Seattle could very well improve upon their nine-win season. It’s obvious the Seahawks have their eyes set on heights much higher than a quick Wild Card exit, and they’ll only get to where they want if they have a quarterback who can take them there.
