Torrey Smith

[DMH_in_WA]

In two NFL seasons, Smith has caught 99 passes for 1,696 yards and 15 touchdowns.

"As a player, I have a long ways to go," Smith said. "I'll never be satisfied. I'll never get complacent. I'm going to work my tail off and have the best offseason I've ever had. That's how I approach it every year. When I reach where I want to be, the league is going to be in trouble."

I love this guy. Love the way he thinks and plays. Hopefully his production keeps increasing and he's with the Ravens for a long time.

Man, just had the Superbowl and I'm sitting here anxious for next season to start already. I think it's finally, fully sinking in that the Ravens really won the Superbowl. Holy crap.

I love him.....unfortunately...my girlfriend loves him too..

Stay Away Torrey

[Gordo52]

Year 3 is usually the breakout year for WR's. In this offense, I can definitely see next year being Torrys best.

Really excited about it as well.

With guys like Torrey, Joe, Ray, Pitta, Yanda and Oher leading this offense you gotta believe these guy will continue to work hard. All of these guy are said to be extremely hard workers and lead by example type guys. I don't thing winning the Super Bowl and the new found fame most of these guys will get, will keep them from working hard.

The scary thing about Torrey to me is, not only is he just scratching the surface, but so is his QB. This guy has already experienced what it's like to have teams treat you like the #1WR and try to take you away with double, yet still take over games. He and Flacco will have a connection that leaves people amazed that they even attempted that play

[berad]

Keep grinding, Torrey. He's got the talent to be the best in the league but becoming a top WR is a process. He's been great.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Hoping to see Torrey get better. He might break the 1000 yards next year and enter the pro-bowl like status.

[The Raven]

Torrey is turning into one of my favorite players. He could very easily become a top 3 WR in the league. He's made some crazy plays, and I can't wait to see what he does next.

Same here. That 2nd TD catch he made in the Denver game, where he overcomes his momentum, pulls back and makes that catch overtop of Champ Bailey is burned into my brain. How effortless he made that look. Like poetry in motion.

[Cville-Raven]

He's a beast enough said

[beasy2487]

Yea. Julio, Megatron and Fitz (with a QB) will always be better statistically because of the offenses they play in and their freak physical tools but Torrey can easily mold himself into Roddy White 2.0 and close 3rd.

[/quote]I agree with two of them, but I'm not sure Larry Fitz will be the best statistically ever again.

It's an easy thing to doubt it's just hard for me to count him out when we've seen what he can do with a halfway decent quarterback.

I tell you one thing, if somehow Alex Smith ends up in Arizona and gives Fitz that QB he has needed, the NFC West better watch out. Although Jimbaugh sounded like he's planning on trying to force Smith to stay as backup. Which is probably pretty smart when you have a QB who likes to leave the pocket all the time.

That would be horrible for Alex. I like Jimbaugh less and less every day. At least trade the guy and give him a chance to do what he loves. Awful. To think there was a time when it was debatable who was the better Harbaugh. Unreal. Although the terror of the NFC west for the foreseeable future will be the Hawks, that division is going to be almost identical to the AFC North in the years to come from a competition/style of play standpoint.

[jazz1988]

Torrey Smith definately a good player and i hope he does improve.Most of all he should try to improve on how to beat man coverage consistently and his route running but overall he definately was better this year than last year. Jim Hostler has done a good job with Smith

There's no way you can call the NFC West the NFC Worst anymore. Being out here in/near Seattle for the last 17 years, I've gotten to watch the Seahawks go through the rebuild phase a few times. This time they got it right. This team is the real deal. If they begin to play on the road the way they play at home, the power shift in the NFC is going to be profound.

Anxious to see how he improves next year
As a rook he was pretty much a straight line runner and a body catcher
This year he improved his hands and ran more routes as well as showing off his ups
He will continue to improve his route running and his hands and will be an all around player
That's got me thinking the offense will be explosive again next year

The offense will be more explosive in both the passing game and the running game. Flacco will continue to grow with the receivers and we should all be excited to see what Castillo does with the run game.

[503_ravens_fan]

as resident of oregon for the last 10 years, ive seen the hawks go from a joke to beast. their defense can be scary. great corners and if clemins doesnt go down with the knee injury in the atlanta game, i could see the hawks in the big dance with us.

i feel so bad for larry. i wish he had a QB.

[Moderator 3]

They just did a segment about Torrey on NFL32 that brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful young man. I'm so glad he's on our team.

[Medications]

The Hawks are a good receiving threat away from being especially scary, Lynch and the defense are obviously great and Wilson seems like he's the real deal. Rice and Tate are just serviceable I think though, not scaring anyone. Especially with Rice's proneness to injuries

I think Caldwell's willingness to actually use multiple receiver sets and a diverse route tree will benefit all of our receivers and tight ends.

That's true and a big plus
One thing missing from cam was the moving around of torrey too.
Sometimes moving him away from a premiere cb if he isn't getting open will help
I mean oher teams do what they can to single out an lb or s why not get Torrey in those match ups more often.

[tsizzle95]

Didnt originally like when we drafted him, but he has become one of my favorite players. He has a great work ethic and great attitude. Its a lot of fun watching hin progress. I say he finally gets his 1000 yard season next year. Torrey, your the man!!

I remember seeing this video after he was drafted and I was like "the Ravens just made a very good choice."

[Grendelwulf21]

I love Torrey, I think my next offensive jersey is gonna be his, he seems so humble and gracious with class beyond belief, I have mad respect for this man, I'm glad he's a Raven, very glad
