Geno Smith

"They wrote me off, I ain't write back though."

"I can't say it was tough because I have been so blessed. Honestly, my tough times would be a dream to someone else. I never will look at it as something that was too hard for me or really tough because throughout that time, I was still enjoying my life and still in the NFL."

"I'm always the guy that I believe the game gets settled between the white lines on game day. But from my vantage point, we've got a really, really good team. I don't know if we'll shock anyone inside of this building, but maybe shock some outsiders. But it's good, like let them sleep. I don't want them to see us coming. We're just working in the shadows right now, getting our game right, and when it's time to go in those bright lights, I think we'll be ready."

"Geno Smith: incredibly underrated quarterback. Part of the reason he struggled at times in Seattle, huge part of the reason, biggest reason was their offensive line was so bad, he faced one of the highest quick-pressure rates in football. When he was kept clean, his numbers were up there with anyone. Accurate, experienced veteran quarterback. Absolutely love this for the Raiders, absolutely hate it for the Seattle Seahawks."
