Previously I groused about a major site’s depth chart that earned some head-scratching. Time for me to make my own bad predictions, so you can remind me of my own futility. The interesting competition in the Seahawks backfield is for the backup spots, not the starters. Even though I saw the acquisition of Paxton Lynch as low-risk, high-reward (okay maybe medium reward), Geno Smith simply fits the Seahawks system much better.
I am fully aware the same scenario played out in 2017 between Trevone Boykin and Austin Davis, and the system guy lost out.
