ESPN needs to make him the AFC North blog writer instead of Hensley. He would be such an improvement.

Great article. Thanks for finding it CJ.

Wow that was a fantastic read. It gave me goosebumps reading. You can't ask to have a better person than Torrey on your team. He's a great person. His performance that night against after his brother's accident will go down in history.

Great article, no question.

Awesome article!

KVV is a superb writer

"Five things we learned" was one of the only things worth reading in the Baltimore Sun

He posts on this message board now and again I believe

[HoustonRaven]

Great stuff!

But I hope to Jeebus he never writes the AFC North blog. Not because I don't think he'd be any good at it, but because this crowd would crucify him the way they've been crucifying Hensley since he took the job.

One even remotely bad word about the Ravens and he's toast.

Torrry Smith is possibly the only Raven I wouldn't be thoroughly disgusted with if he ever dons Black and Yellow.

Actually, I love the guy!

If you would disgusted with Ray Rice playing for your team, along with a bunch of other players who would clearly start for the Steelers any day of the week, then I don't know what to tell you, and I advise you to get some glasses that aren't as Yellow as the ones your currently wearing. There are a bunch of Steelers players I'd want to play here in a heart beat, like Timmons or Lamar Woodley.

Actually, my glasses are pretty fucked up :P

Also, forgot Ray Rice, and also Oher. Ray Lewis would just be... wrong. Suggs; lol no. Reed, we already got Polamalu. Flacco; lol no. You get the point.

We clearly see the game differently. Yes it would be weird having Maukrice Pouncey playing for us, and he is hated around Bmore as is most of the Steelers roster, but that is just a rivalry thing. If a good player can start for your team and help you win championships, I don't give a damn who it is.

Put it this way, remember that these players could have been drafted by anyone in college, and it really is just the luck of the draw where someone ends up. Suggs could have been a Steeler legend by now, while Woodley could have been our premium pass rusher. This isn't high school football. More times than not, a player doesn't care who picks him, as long as the team will pay him and give him a shot at a starting place in the team. Sure, players become loyal to the teams who draft him, or a team who invests a lot of money into him through FA, but this is business at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure if the Ravens had the cap space and offered Wallace the most money in FA next year, he would come to Bmore regardless.

Would you rather have Mike Wallace or Torrey Smith?

Y'know what? Torrey Smith. He is the best deep route WR in the AFCN. AJ Green I think is the best overall receiver, but the Bungles will get him as long as they can.

He's been saying bad things about the Ravens for a long time too, he's a very honest writer. He is far from a homer.

And about Hensley, it's not just "one bad thing", there was a time when the Ravens were almost always being doubted by this guy in articles and debates, he predicted them to finish 3rd in the AFCN behind the Bengals.

[Paintballguy]

I really don't think Terrell Suggs would fit here after all his disrespect. I think he maybe the only Raven who truly, legitimately HATES us.

I don't think Suggs disrespects the steelers. I think he just has fun with the rivalry.

That article gave me chills. Smith is or seems to be a damn good guy and a person the Ravens like to have in their organization.

I really enjoyed that article. Thank you for posting it. I hope that Torrey continues to grow as a player. I doubt he has to grow any more as a man.

[Ravenswintitle]

Great article, thanks for posting. It also gives me some new found respect for Harbs.

My money is on Torrey going down as one of the all-time greats; he has every tool in the box.

[ballhawk]

And the work ethic to go with it. Look how quickly he's gone from a speed guy with questionable hands to a pretty crafty route runner and great deap threat. I think playing with Boldin has really benefited him and helped him to progress so quickly. Sky's the limit with Torrey!
