Where the hell did THIS Geno Smith come from 

Prayers for Geno. Nothing happened to him, but the Kollmann curse is a dangerous thing.

“They wrote me off, I ain’t write back though” is one of the hardest bars ever dropped in sports 😂

Pete Carroll legit underrated as a Qb whisperer. Matt leinart, Carson palmer, Mark Sanchez, Russell Wilson, Geno Smith.

geno’s story is a reminder that no matter how bad it gets, there is life after the jets

As a Seahawks fan, I’ve never been more happy to be wrong about someone than Geno. It’s a feel good story

My high school teammate and the reason why i stopped playing quarterback. Used to shout to anyone who would listen about how gifted he was. Glad he’s finally showing the world what we’ve known since 2007.

The comeback of geno is crazy. i remember him on the jets and everyone was like he’s trash

I still think Geno's game against Baylor is the best game of QB I have ever seen anyone play. 656 yds and 8 TDs almost does not do justice to how well he was throwing that day.

as a hawks fan, the thing that i noticed immediately from Geno was his pocket poise. After years of watching Russell get happy feet whenever there was a lineman within 2 feet of him, it was refreshing to see Geno do a better job of balancing the fine line between tunnel vision on the pass and constantly worrying about pass protection. He had trust in his line to give him just enough time to make the reads he needed. It felt good.

Soo what we’re learning is that The Jets have struggled to develop QBs since before Geno

Brett casually dropping a video on Geno Smith a year after he popped off.

As a Washington native, I appreciate your compliments about the state and Seahawks, Brett.

The Sea Hawkers not only have chapters all over the country but across the globe - cheers from Germany!

8:30 Kudos to Lockett here too. I'm constantly impressed by how he *always* seems to be open in moments like this.

On the Kelce’s podcast there is a bit where Travis talks about Geno’s ability to spin it, and I’m happy for him.

Thanks for the shout out! That day at training camp WAS incredible!

I think he didn't give up, and kept working to get better, got better, and finally got a chance. So damn happy for Geno.

There's a simple answer to why Geno Smith became good. It's because he got that Dawg in HIM 😤

really happy he found that success. i love a good redemption arc.

Geno Smith always struck me as a career backup. I was seriously mistaken.

So happy for Geno man, I know all of us Jets fans were pulling for him last year to continue to shine and succeed. He just needed some time to mature because he’s always had the talent.

Geno has to have one of the strangest career paths, especially for a QB

I never thought id see Alex Rollins, Thinking Football and Brett Kollman do a video on Geno Smith.

I thought Geno's career was done after IK Enemkpali broke his jaw. Now, he reemerges as one of the best comeback stories in the NFL.

Seahawks fan here and I’m grateful for Geno and your video. Dudes a baller and always has been. Getting drafted by the Jets is a death sentence. Since he got with a Hall of Fame Coach he’s been amazing. P.S. Seattle/Washington is beautiful and amazing…. But please stop moving here!! Us locals are getting displaced

This season has some serious 2012/2013 vibes... It's also possible we get a 2011 type season. The rookie class on this team is so exciting, and Geno will shine this year. NFC is up for grabs and Seattle has a shot here... 💙💚🔥🏈

I think a big part of it truly was the support he got from the team and fancase as a whole. The moment he was named starter people were chanting "GENO GENO GENO". And yeah, it was basically as a joke at first. People thought it was a throw away year so why not be goofy and put all your faith in a one year throwaway qb. But then it turned serious and the support stuck. You see way too many instances with new, often young, qbs coming in and immediately facing scrutiny, looking at you Jets and Browns. But the whole team had his back from the start and it really showed in his confidence.

Two seasons ago when he came in against the Rams. He was on a tear then and has been since. He's legit.

Geno always had talent.When he was on at WVU he was crazy good.

Hell yeah the throwback DK jersey great fit Brett

Watching and learning from behind Russell Wilson and being in the Pete Carroll system all those years paid good dividends.

Love the Geno story. Used to use him on the jets in madden 25. Last year i grabbed him off the waiver wire after three HUGE performances and bro didn’t disappoint, geno was a new man that year

Bro watching some of the throws geno made this year was truly incredible. Amazing

I went to HS with him. Good for him to have gotten to where he has

Glad you are checking in on Washington. It’s truly the best state for everything in my opinion. You got ocean, rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts, plains, etc. all within 1-2 hours

Appreciate the love for Woodinville whiskey, they do several seasonal distillery only releases that are amazing for us locals. If you like a good bourbon or finished whiskeys, they have some amazing applewood variations (Smoked Maple and Smoked Applewood being some of the best I've had from them). Go Hawks!

As a WVU fan this has been the Geno I’ve been waiting to see since week 6 in 2012 vs Baylor (70-63)

man i wish i would have went to training camp knowing you were there! Seattle and surrounding areas (im from Olympia, the captial) are all beautful! thanks for sheading light on this amazing team we got.

Can I just say that I appreciate that you state your general conclusions pretty early on in the video

As a Jets fan: I knew we did him extremely dirty, and that giving up on him that quickly was going to bite us in the ass. He is the one guy we've drafted since 2000 other than Pennington who could've been it if we'd been a little more patient.

Love the content. Seriously one of my favorite football minds. Thanks for putting some respect on Geno!

That pass to Lockett over three Saints defenders was just disgusting. Geno was balling last season.

Geno was insane at WVU. He never got a fair look for the Giants. So happy to see him with a chance to succeed.

In 2018 took a chance at a dream job in Seattle for a year, and made a last second decision as a Rams fan... the night before the game... to buy a ticket for the Rams coming to town with a 5-0 Record. I woke up the next morning, put on My Goff Jersey, and ventured into what was any other day of the year just "down town" for me, but today, while where I lived, was "Enemy Territory" so to speak. Much to my relief and pride the people of Seattle were as nice to me as any other day and I had an amazing experience and I can confirm that Century Link Field is STUPIDLY LOUD. It was an amazing game, and I even made friends with one or two Seahawk's fans around me, and at one point after a huge play (maybe a TD, I cant remember) I looked up, and the stadium was SO LOUD, I didn't realize a full sized passenger jet plane was not far over head taking off or landing in or out of the nearby airport in Seattle. I could see the plane, I could not hear it... over the stadium crowd I was in... while it was low to the ground for take off or landing. And also yes, when I moved out there, before I even got to Seattle on my drive out during the move, the first thing I noticed was how beautiful Washington State was.

Loving the content

i was gonna comment about brett cursing seattle or giving the seahawks training camp experience the praise it deserves, but there’s something more important. brett is the first human on earth to talk POSITIVELY about FEDERAL WAY. thank you for seahawks acknowledgement for this episode, brett. been watching since before i could legally buy whiskey.

Born and raised there and your right the summer time is amazing. I moved to Atlanta now and the summers here are a humid mosquitoe filled cluster fuck.

Keep up the good work, man

I haven't been into football that long, so I first saw Geno as a sub. And even back then he looked more than just decent, obv. I didn't know the full story. Guy deserves his limelight, I wish him great success.

Thank you Brett

My excitement level for a Brett Geno vid... unmatched right now

Great video. Yes Geno!!!🎉

Hell yeah, glad you had a good time here Brett.

I love the theme in the start of your videos about enjoying yourself and encouraging the audience to do the same. I don’t have any whiskey but I do have a big pork chop

Bro, dude has been a HoF talent since he stepped foot in the league

As someone who grew up in Washington it's great but depressing you'll go 9 months of rain and you miss a lot of outdoor activities. It is a very beautiful place and it was even better 20 years ago more green and blue and watching it change growing up sucked but I appreciate you talking so positively about my hometown.

Early this month Brett… Proud of u

My man shouting out the Woodinville, let's go. also Geno's good too

Great video!

As a Jets fan, it upsets me that we didn’t witness this Geno, but I couldn’t be anything other than proud of him.

Everyone loves a great story and Geno has that rn

Shoutout Brandon and the Sea Hawkers - great pod

As a Seahawks fan and Seattlite, I very much enjoyed watching this, thank you 🫡

Seeing Geno be successful in Seattle is awesome!

I'm glad you had very nice things to say about Washington, I've lived here all my life and the amount of nature you can get that's only a few hours (or sometimes minutes) away is simply amazing. People really sleep on the food in Washington too, we have great variety and I know Californians and people from the Southwest might turn up their noses at our Mexican food but trust me, there are so many small towns that just have amazing Mexican food that can rival anything from those places.

Geno played like rent was due. I really hope this continues till his retirement

What a great video man I love that you love Seattle, GO HAWKS!!🔵🟢

It is stunning up here… in the summer

What a nice way to start a video. Thanks

3 days before the end of the month. So proud of you Bret!

If he has a bigger season this year, they need to add 2 more years to his deal.

This intro was awesome ❤

BRETT I HAVE THE SAME JERSEY I JUST ORDERED IT!!! ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

That intro! 🔥

Lmao hearing “Woodinville” come out of your mouth was a world shaker being from there, super small lil city, if you ever come out def throw up a post and I’ll see about meeting you to show you around🤯😂 some of the best wine country in the world but nobody talks about how good the whiskey and brews are here too, all that credit goes to Portland for some ungodly reason. Shoutout for all the on-location shoots recently they’ve been super fun to watch and good topics too👍🏻

Love Seattle for a reason

bro, seattle in the summer is the best kept secret. it gets nice and hot, it’s not humid. the waters great. and everything is fucking awesome

Geno > Tua is the completely lukewarm take that I love to roast my Dolphins fan friends with every chance I can get lol

I am so happy to see Geno succeeding. His journey is crazy.

Excellent video. We love Geno in this town. The PNW is happy to welcome you back anytime. ✅ Subscribed

seems like you should have like eight million subscribers .. anyway thanks for another great video. I enjoyed the intro on the climate at puget sound

I saw today showing he was on fire the first 13 weeks, but cooled off a bit the rest of the season. I didn’t pay too much attention to him and the hawks last season, but hope that he is able to keep it up this year, showing that it’s possible to emerge to greatness later in your career than having to explode out the gate as most people seem to act is necessary for success at the qb position.

As a 49er fan who is disgruntled with how Trey Lance was handled, I was kinda hoping he'd end up in Seattle.

Felt like this was super random ty for making this video. Lowkey thought the start of the video was fake then you popped out dude really in Washington😂 sounds like you enjoyed it I finally went to a Seahawks practice this summer too super cool still never Ben to a game

In my youth town! Federal way! Hope you're enjoying!

love this guy

Man I hope geno can keep it up next season! I loved watching him play last year. I’m a life king packer fan but I would be lying if I said I didn’t want the hawks to win just because of geno

People tend to associate Geno with his days on the Jets, or the title of "that guy who ruined Eli Manning's start streak" for the Giants. They didn't see how much he'd matured, from a guy who got punched out by a teammate in a locker room, to the disciplined backup QB, to the legit starter for the franchise. Pete Carroll is really good at coaching up players who feel they've been slighted, the guys with an axe to grind, or a chip on their shoulder, or any other cliched saying. He is somehow able to get them to use that adversity to their benefit, to focus their energies on self-improvement rather than reflecting on the negative stuff being said about them. Their practices are all about competing for each snap, but not just to beat your teammates to the ball, but to improve their level of play along with your own. It's been a winning formula for Pete Carroll's tenure with the second most wins over the last 10 years. If this new young roster can live up to the hype around them, there's no telling what they can achieve this season.

Got Geno and Goff on my Fantasy squad. Underrated Top 7 QBs. Next to Herbert, Geno really had the most insane dots.

As a WVU fan I will say every WVU fan knew he was special and had one of the prettiest deep balls in the game! I appreciate someone is appreciating him as much as we did

I practiced in college under a Blue Angels show going on in town. Top 5 coolest thing I’ve ever done. We took a 10 minute break in the middle to watch.

It’s so awesome to see Geno’s resurgence. Hopefully he’s the next Rich Gannon

My God are you smart! I learn so much watching you and Top Billin'. Thank you for doing what you do. Geno is a gift from God. His spirals are so tight they could drill diamonds!💙💚💙💚💙💚

It's "Pike" place. Singular. Lmao. Glad you enjoyed the PNW.

As a Jets fan it makes me happy to see geno find success- he had some unbelievably bad luck near the end of his time on the team. I hope Darnold has a similar story………

ive been a geno truther since russ got traded and you dont know how good it felt to be right about that, literally did victory laps on half the internet when i was done.

Thank you for the Seahawk's content Go Hawks 🏈🏈🏈

How can you not love Genos Story!

Glad to hear my state has captivated you, Brett. Washington and the Seahawks know how to put on a spectacle.

Lake Michigan is my favorite place. However, I have never been to Washington and Oregon. I think I would never want to leave.
