are outperforming expectations this season, and their offense has been a focal point of this team since Week 1. The “dropoff” from Russell Wilson to Geno Smith has turned out to actually be a step up, and Shane Waldron is play-calling his way into the conversation of potential head coaching candidates.
Of course, separating play calling from execution can be challenging. Take, for example, Geno Smith’s league-leading completion rate; according to StatHead, he is currently ranked third in NFL history behind Drew Brees 2018 and 2019, respectively . The fact that he is completing more than 70% of his passes might indicate that Waldron is setting the team up with high-percentage throws and quick hitters, which might have been a reasonable expectation during the offseason.
Geno Smith leads all QBs in completion % AND completion % above expected. Pretty wild, given that his expected completion percentage ranks 22nd. His air yards are middle of the pack, but at 7.6 it isn't like he is just the beneficiary of a dink and dunk offense.
