RENTON, Wash. — Two quarterbacks. Two competitors. Two friends. One spot.
Disappointing as Russell Wilson’s departure may be to some, it has created a situation unseen with the Seahawks in 10 years: A legitimate quarterback competition.
In one corner is Geno Smith — a former starter for the Jets who has spent his past seven seasons as a backup, compiling just two wins as a starter during that stretch. In the other corner is Drew Lock — another former starter who was demoted last season and has gone 4-12 in his past 16 starts.
