Pete Carroll Gives Glowing Reviews to Both Drew Lock & Geno Smith as Seahawks Starting Quarterback Options

Pete Carroll is keeping all guessing over who will be starting in Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks are having one of the least-interesting quarterback competition in recent memory, forced to pick a new QB this training camp after trading their superstar QB Russell Wilson. Drew Lock and Geno Smith are both doing their best to replace him. It hasn’t really been much of a competition in the public eye, Lock got COVID and missed the preseason game he was scheduled to start as well as a handful of practices.

But Pete Carroll is feeling pretty good about his QB’s. The Seattle Seahawks head coach told reporters he thinks the Seahawks might have two No. 1 QBs in the locker room after watching Lock vs. Smith for the last few weeks.

NFL head coaches jobs are to say whatever they need to in order to sell their team to the press, and Carroll knows a thing or two about handling the media. Lock and Smith may be decent QB’s at best but not No. 1s in the way Carroll is saying it, which is why most in the NFL media are ripping the franchise for sticking with those two instead of trying to pursue any other avenue to make up for the loss of Russell Wilson. A lot are predicting a train wreck of a season for the Seahawks.

Maybe Carroll will really end up with Two QB 1’s, but I personally see them both as QB2’s.
