Torrey Smith: "If that hit was on any other QB but Cam that fine would’ve been a trillion dollars"

I think it’s good we get someone vocal on the team, our offense needs some fire. 

Torrey really came on after he caught the touchdown,.. of course Norv seemed to open the offense to throw to someone else besides CMac too.

hopefully he’s getting in better tune with Cam, and this will translate to the type of productivity he had the last half of the game.

3 of 4 catches the last half for 33 and a touchdown. Doing that the rest of the season says about 550 yards and 4-6 touchdowns.

5 million becomes a bargain.

Damn straight.  I've been waiting for our leaders on the OL (Kalil, Trai) to do what Torrey did Sunday, and then now with this statement, for two years...  two fuging years, while our once-in-a-lifetime, franchise QB was getting cheapshotted and headhunted incessantly...  i still remember Trai standing by as one of the Broncos launched headfirst into Cam and the crowd started reacting in that 2016 season opener, he just stood there and did nothing...  so I've been waiting for this kind of teammate - to fight for Cam, to speak up and bring more attention to it.  Hopefully, Torrey's play improves as well, but happy to have him for this reason alone.

How much was the fine on the guy who cheap shotted Luck in week one?

Same amount. The fine is based on the unnecessary roughness penalty. The extra was the ejection. Unless it’s a repeat offender where the fine goes up on the schedule, it is extremely rare for there to be a fine above the scheduled amount. It’s all spelled out in the CBA.

As Bartin said, his statement is not accurate, actually lol. The fines are all the same. The NFL doesn't just pull numbers out of their ass, not at the time of the penalty anyway. The fine would be the same, regardless of the QB. You could make the argument about suspension, but I doubt it, as suspension rarely happens for an in game offense that already warranted ejection.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
