NFL Twitter Reacts to Geno Smith Lighting Up the Broncos' Defense

It's been eight years since former Mountaineer Geno Smith was a full-time starting quarterback in the NFL and tonight, he got his second chance as the leader of the Seattle Seahawks offense.

All eyes are on Russell Wilson and his return to the Pacific Northwest, but through nearly three quarters of play, Geno Smith has stolen the show. At the four-minute mark of the third quarter, Smith is 19-of-22 for 180 yards and two touchdowns.

Yo peoples, I have to admit: @GenoSmith3 looks absolutely fantastic in this first half. Nearly flawless. This is the best I’ve ever seen him look. I’m shocked.

Pete Carroll putting more faith in Geno Smith to air it out than Russell Wilson is some peak trolling
