Geno Smith

Seattle Seahawks · Year 10

2022 stats: 4 games | 77.3 pct | 1,037 pass yds | 7.9 ypa | 6 pass TD | 2 INT | 64 rush yds | 1 rush TD | 1 fumble

There’s organic tension ranking these quarterbacks: How do you balance the arc of their careers against the past four weeks? Do I see Smith as a more genuine talent than Matthew Stafford? No, sir. Do I believe Geno is on a personal hot streak for the ages after Sunday’s nearly perfect performance against the Lions? Bingo. Smith has amassed a 77.3 completion rate that sits a hefty 6.6 points higher than Dude No. 2 (Stafford). In a fever dream actively tickling the fancy of colleague and leading Geno disciple Gregg Rosenthal, Seattle’s starter has gone full-on Gandalf the White.

Zach Wilson

New York Jets · Year 2

2022 stats: 1 game | 50 pct | 252 pass yds | 7 ypa | 1 pass TD | 2 INT | 15 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 0 fumbles

The Jets must discover what they have in their headband-wearing starter. Wilson was nondescript for three quarters against the Steelers, but his rousing final frame -- he was 10-for-12 passing during a pair of long touchdown drives -- saved the day. Jets vet Corey Davis called him a "warrior" after the winning performance, one of a handful of teammates to praise Wilson's resolve down the stretch. String a few of these quarters together and Jets fans will melt.
