“F*ck ‘em all, That’s my QB”: Maxx Crosby defends Geno Smith after viral backlash

What started as a feel-good youth football event turned into yet another case of the internet doing what it does best, twisting a clip for clicks. Seahawks QB Geno Smith found himself facing online heat after a moment from the event went viral, with critics questioning how he carried himself.

But Geno wasn’t having it and neither was Raiders star Maxx Crosby, who jumped in with one of the most fired-up defenses you’ll see this offseason.

The viral clip caught fire, but Geno Smith shut the noise down immediately

Geno was simply being himself at a youth football camp, bringing energy, authenticity, and some Dade County swagger. But when a short video clip made its way online, critics zeroed in on his tone and presence rather than the impact of the event.Geno responded like a pro, dropping this message on X:“Having fun with the game I love but man, the need for clicks and negativity takes away from the great event… This is how we talk in Dade County. I’m sorry u might not understand. Carry on!”

No apology.

No backtracking. Just facts.

Maxx Crosby saw the hate and immediately rode for Geno with a fire quote tweet

Crosby didn’t just quietly like the post or retweet it. He went full-on ride-or-die mode:“You Don’t Have To Explain Nothing To Nobody Brother… Fck Em All… That’s My QB ☠️”

Crosby and Geno aren’t even teammates. That’s what made this hit even harder. This was a message of respect, unity, and a middle finger to manufactured outrage.

The league needs more of this energy loyalty, realness, and no filter

This wasn’t just about a viral clip or a quote tweet. It was about players having each other’s backs and calling out the culture of twisting good moments into controversy. Geno Smith is proud of where he’s from, proud of how he shows up, and proud of what he gives back. And Maxx Crosby just reminded everyone that sometimes the real ones don’t stay silent. That’s not just his QB, that’s all of ours now.Also read - Sources: T.J. Watt trade buzz grows as Steelers star skips minicamp over contract
