But, it’s not just Wilson who is being surpassed. Geno Smith currently has fifteen touchdown passes. This means that on a list consisting of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts, Smith would come out on top with regard to the number of touchdown passes made this far in the season.
Geno Smith is on top
Fans reacted to Smith’s accomplishment on Twitter. Some displayed elation. Others were not so convinced.
One user was pumped.

Another user has a lot to say.
In the history of the NFL, there has never been a quarterback that was drafted, played terribly, was written off as a bust, sat on the bench for 8 years, came back and was immediately in the MVP conversation
What Geno Smith is doing is one of the most incredible stories ever.

The Seahawks are seated atop the NFC West at 6-3. This has come as a pleasant surprise to fans. With fifteen touchdown passes, Smith has reached a career-high.
Russell Wilson’s woes
Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos look very weak compared to the Seahawks. The Broncos’ goal was to land the superstar quarterback. Wilson was the redemption they were seeking.
Unfortunately for the Broncos, that did not turn out as planned. While Wilson may be playing through injuries, the Broncos cannot ignore his hefty $380 million contract and their current predicament.

On the other hand, Wilson‘s former team look like playoff contenders with their replacement quarterback in whom not many had faith. Geno Smith is having a staggering season. Smith is ranked fourth on ESPN’s QBR rating. He is behind Tua Tagovailoa, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Russell Wilson is all the way down at twenty-eight.
Things are definitely looking good for the Seahawks. They will take on the Tampa Bay Buccanneers next in Germany. The team will aim to keep their spot atop their division as they take on Tom Brady and the Bucs.
