Done and done. He deserves it totally. Only competitor in my opinion is the kicker for Cowboys, making 6 for 6, including the game winning kick, to put up the team's only points. Pretty impressive for a rookie. I don't think any of his kicks were particularly difficult and any experienced NFL kicker could've done what he did, but as a rookie and having to deal with the pressure of winning the game for your team, and to do it 6 out of 6 times, I was impressed. But I still think Torrey deserves it.

I surprised I didnt see them talking about him much on ESPN or anything much. First three catches of his career were touchdowns, in the first quarter nonetheless.

I don't see how Torrey doesn't win it. Luckily Cam Newton had to play in a monsoon.

I could see rookie kicker Dan Bailey coming away with the prize. He did win if for 'America's team.'

The game barely got any coverage in general so it's not a big surprise.

I watched all of the videos, and I didn't understand some of their picks. Cam Newton had an okay day, but nothing special besides playing in inclimate weather. Julio Jones makes a reception that was nice, the throw was pretty bad and he made a circus catch out of it but again nothing special..he didn't even score any TDs that day. They don't even have Wisniewski's picture up. I don't get how Torrey doesn't run away with it.

Well most rookies don't make much of a contribution, so they have to choose somebody.

Don't get me wrong, I think Dan Bailey did a heck of a job for Dallas and Jerry better have taken that kid out for dinner after the game. I understand that some rookies aren't given a chance to shine (like Torrey if Evans hadn't sat out) but at the same time sometimes maybe they just shouldn't have a Rookie of the Week if no rookies didn't anything truly noteworthy.

Torrey [i]has [/i]to win.

I read on Rotoworld he's the [b]first rookie in NFL history to score on each of his first three career catches[/b], and just the [b]13th player in history with three receiving touchdowns in one quarter[/b].

If that doesn't equal rookie of the week honors, I don't know what does.

I will secede from the NFL and form my own league if by some huge travesty Torrey Smith does not make it as rookie of the week.

I mean, come on. He was even at the top of Google Trends for awhile.

Well I have been voting all day, in The tarmac to come home so he has a good 4 hours of voting, and there is one other raven fan here so he should win by a landslide.

If he doesn't get rookie of the week he should. I don't think a rookie's ever done that before. I think the NFL was a little too big for him previously and he just needed something to get his confidence up. He should consistently improve from that game forward.

Well said.

This accomplishment is way beyond rookie honors, it's historic!

Torrey got robbed! A guard won it. Give me a break. McFadden's best runs, including his 70 yarder were to the outside. How does a guard have that much of an impact on an outside run?
