Training camp is over.
The preseason games are now over, with Seattle’s 27-26 defeat at Dallas Friday night.
The rival San Francisco 49ers appear to be days away from cutting Jimmy Garoppolo.
And the question that’s been on your mind since March 8, the day the Seahawks traded Russell Wilson, remains in play:
Who should be the Seahawks’ starting quarterback to begin the 2022 season?
Geno Smith started all three preseason games, including Friday night’s finale. The 31-year-old veteran, Wilson’s backup for Seattle the last three seasons, has gotten almost all the plays with the starting offense in training camp.
Drew Lock played most of Friday night’s Cowboys game, after missing his planned start last week against Chicago because he had COVID-19. Lock played the entire second half in the preseason opener at Pittsburgh Aug. 13. He did that the way he’s been almost all of training camp plus offseason practices in May and June: with the second-team offense.

There’s 16 days between the end of Friday’s preseason finale at Dallas and the opener Sept. 12 against Wilson’s Denver Broncos at Lumen Field. Coach Pete Carroll announced after Friday’s game that Smith had earned the starting job. But maybe you can change his mind — that is, if you think he should.
