Geno Smith still leads the NFL in passing yards
We are through six weeks on the 2024 NFL season, and no one has thrown for more yards than Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith.
On the year, Smith has thrown for 1,778 yards. While his touchdown/interception ratio (6 touchdowns, six picks) may not be great on the stat sheet, defenses are having little effect on slowing Smith down through the air.
The current top five passing leads in the league are as follows:
Geno Smith - 1,778
Brock Purdy - 1,629
Dak Prescott - 1,602
Kirk Cousins - 1,598
Joe Burrow - 1,578
Smith had a tough night against the San Francisco 49ers last week, no one will argue against it. His two interceptions were brutal, and the second one stopped any comeback attempt dead in its tracks. While an argument could certainly be made DK Metcalf did him no favors with his route, as a quarterback, you sign the check with every pass you throw.
However, Smith still had 312 yards on Thursday night. Smith has eclipsed the 300+ passing yard mark in three of his six games this year. In two of them where he did not, he still threw for 289 and 284 yards.
Smith will look to keep up his overall strong paly next Sunday on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. It will be his, and the Seahawks', first time playing the Falcons since they lost 27-23 in 2022 at Lumen Field. Despite the loss, Smith passed for 325 yards and two touchdowns against Atlanta.
