From the article

Geno Smith was simply awful last season. I don't need to harp on it too much as everyone knows the details, but a 34.1 QBR and 84.7 passer rating are horrible numbers in today's NFL. He ranked 29th in EPA per play and 27th in Success Rate... he still threw 17 interceptions in 15 games... his ADOT tanked as well. He ranked 29th in that metric... At 35, though, it is a legitimate question to ask whether Geno simply cannot be a starting quarterback anymore.

Negative signalProjection

Geno Smith's 34.1 QBR and age 35-36 raise serious questions about starting viability.

Geno Smith's 2025 performance was historically poor: 34.1 QBR, 84.7 passer rating (both well below league average), 29th in EPA per play, 27th in Success Rate, 17 interceptions in 15 games, and 29th in ADOT. While the surrounding cast in Las Vegas was atrocious and playcalling was poor, at 35 turning 36, it is a legitimate question whether Geno can still be a starting quarterback. The source notes that if Geno were 30, it would be easier to chalk up last year to environment, but at his age, decline is a real concern. Even with improved supporting cast and Frank Reich as playcaller, the source is not confident in a simple bounce-back narrative.
