It was also his first season averaging under 4.5 yards per carry (3.7 in 2021). The 2021 season output was the worst of his career: 856 scrimmage yards, his first season under 1,000 when playing at least 10 games, as he shook off the rust from the ACL injury. Saquon Barkley looked like he lost a step, or five, last season, his first one back after missing the final 14 games of the 2020 season with a torn ACL. That's the definition of overperforming expectations. Even with last week's 29-0 road stinker against Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, the coaching staff that held him and his Rams to only three points in Super Bowl 53, Goff's Lions are averaging 28 points per game, the third-most in the NFL behind only Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs (31.8 PPG) and Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills (30.4). Goff's play this season had been consistently strong despite injuries to some of his top playmakers like running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and wide receivers Amon-Ra St. "He's playing pretty good ball right now."
"Yeah, I mean, I don't see why not," Lions head coach DanCampbell said, via the Detroit News last December when asked if Goff could be the team's long-term quarterback. Comparing Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford in 2022 This season, he has outshined his Hollywood replacement by a wide margin. Even with his Detroit Lions serving as the featured team on HBO's "Hard Knocks," Goff still couldn't capture much screen time, not getting any extended close-ups until the penultimate fourth episode of the five-episode reality television series. Jared Goff got dumped by the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, the team that traded up to select him first overall in 2016, and had to suffer through last season watching his replacement, Matthew Stafford, do what he could not, lead the Rams to a Super Bowl victory.

While he may not be the Seahawks' quarterback of the future, the 32-year-old is setting himself up to cash in come free agency next offseason, demonstrating he's capable of much more than his first eight NFL seasons had indicated. The three passing touchdowns tied his single-game career-high. His stat line of 268 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in Seattle's 39-32 road loss against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 gave him just his third career game with three or more scoring strikes and no interceptions. It's a higher mark than Josh Allen's (8.4), Patrick Mahomes' (7.9), Tom Brady's (7.8) and Joe Burrow's (7.4). He isn't padding his stats by only throwing checkdowns, as his average depth of target (aDOT) of 8.9 yards is the 12th-highest in the NFL.
Highest completion % through Week 5 in last 75 years Season Smith's completion percentage of 75.2% doesn't just lead all quarterbacks this season, it ranks as the fourth-best mark through the first five weeks of a season in the last 75 years among players with over 100 passing attempts. Comparing Geno Smith, Russell Wilson in 2022 Not even the Seahawks themselves could have predicted Smith's play so far since his backup Drew Lock was "the quarterback general manager John Schneider wanted" when looking at Wilson trades last offseason according to ESPN. However, that's exactly what has transpired through the season's first five games.

Only the most naively optimistic Seattle Seahawks fan could have predicted that career backup Geno Smith (34 starts in his first eight seasons and five from 2015-2021) was going to out-play his nine-time Pro Bowl predecessor Russell Wilson, whom the Seahawks traded to the Denver Broncos.
