Berry comes back from a life-threatening health scare to play the best football of his career, whereas Peterson comes back from turpitude to put up an average season for himself.

I guess beating the fuck out of your child shows a hell of a lot more resilience than beating cancer.

[Red Dawg]

Disgraceful. Berry should be it and it's not even close.

[ThaVirus]

I saw this article posted on Facebook and the top 10 or so most liked comments all agreed that this was horseshit and Berry was the clear choice.

Carson Palmer and Adrian Peterson are having great seasons, but Eric Berry beat cancer. His "injury" could have ended his life, not just his career.

Berry will win the award.

[Brock]

"Coming back" from a domestic violence suspension shouldn't be considered for an award.

[O.city]

Peterson didn't even have an injury.

He should win, best parole come back player or something.

More importantly, as Hamas pointed out, how the fuck is AP even in this conversation? He was out of the league for suspension. Not some unlucky health thing. At least Palmer has that and even still....

[ThaVirus]

I'm not sure about the inner workings of "playing on a "comeback", but he was out of the league last year.

I guess they just assume not playing most of the year qualifies him for the award.

[displacedinMN]

I was thinking about this award. Thank god this is only the potentials.

It should be Berry. Hands down. Come back from cancer!! Has to be the winner.

[ModSocks]

This.

Un-fucking-believable. This dipshit author has his head stuck waaaay far up his own ass.

[staylor26]

What a fucking joke. If anything AP had an advantage resting up for a year with no injury to overcome.

[BigMeatballDave]

Stay classy, NFL!

[BigMeatballDave]

What a fucking joke. If anything AP had an advantage resting up for a year with no injury to overcome.

His arms were sore from beating his kid.

[The Franchise]

When do we start wearing a certain color for National "beating your children" month?

[ThaVirus]

No need to get up in arms about this, guys. Berry will win the award. The NFL couldn't pass up that PR opportunity.

[chiefzilla1501]

In that case, Greg hardy should be in the top 10 too. Nothing stopped AP from staying in shape last year. He just had to shake off rust. Palmer and Berry had to train their asses off to get back to football health.

By the way, I'm saying this knowing you agree, not because I'm arguing.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Adrian Beaterson? What a fucking joke.

[Buehler445]

Disgraceful. Berry should be it and it's not even close.

This. Berry by a country mile.

[RealSNR]

I could see them making a case for Carson Palmer.

It'd be shitty of the NFL, but I could see it

You are joking about an average season right? How is 1,450 combo yards and 9 touchdowns 13 games into a season an average season?

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I am afraid calling Adrian Peterson's season "average" will take the focus off your overall point.

[lawrenceRaider]

He didn't say Peterson was having an average season as compared to the NFL.

He said, Peterson was having and average season for himself. In other words, he was doing about what AP does normally.

Perfect.

And we should all send that author a really, really mean spirited email. That'll teach him.

[ptlyon]

Be sure to include disparaging remarks about his mom as well

[WhawhaWhat]

AP came back from causing his kid's legs to look like this.

Well deserved IMO. Coming back from cancer isn't nearly as hard as coming back from beating your kid......Please check your sarcasm meters before replying to this post. TIA

[BWillie]

Agreed. They should just give it to Berry. Right now. Nobody else on the list of candidates. If somehow AP gets it, I will fight someone.

[rico]

Berry beats cancer...AP beats beating his kid... Unbelievable.

[MotherfuckerJones]

NFL.com is an awful web site. AP who was SUSPENDED for beating the shit out of his child gets CPOY over Berry and Palmer. Berry is coming back from cancer and is playing like the best safety. Palmer coming off yet another ACL tear and has lead them to one of the best records. Fuck NFL.com

[BossChief]

Someone should beat this author with a switch.

[Halfcan]

Berry beats cancer...AP beats beating his kid... Unbelievable.

But they both had it coming-lol

[chiefzilla1501]

Perfect.

And we should all send that author a really, really mean spirited email. That'll teach him.

He's already gotten destroyed on Twitter. So I think he got the message. Though it wouldn't surprise me if that followed with even more stubbornness to prove he was right.

[ModSocks]

Be sure to include disparaging remarks about his mom as well

And some angry, disapproving emoticons.

[vailpass]

Palmer and Berry are the only two that should be mentioned for this. Won't surprise me if Palmer wins but Berry is a feel good story for sure.

[Buehler445]

I could see the league trying to get some good PR after all the FUBARs Goodell has made including getting Peterson's punishment overturned in court. Couple that with Ray Rice who seemingly has rehabilitated himself and shows contrition can't get a job. Greg Hardy who has obviously has not and shows no contrition gets paid, Goodell might need to put a positive shine on his shithouse. Of course, they try to push him over a fucking CANCER SURVIVOR which will almost certainly blow up in their faces.

[notorious]

Another writer get the very attention he needs to draw clicks to his page.

Chill out fellas.

[TribalElder]

Backhand player of the year

Aid-reeeee-ahhhhnnnnn Beeeeeeaaaaatttt-hiiiissssssss-soooonnnnnn

[Deberg_1990]

AP for sure. monster fantasy year!

[farmerchief]

AP for sure. monster fantasy year!
He didn't perform very well for me on my fantasy team, that's for sure!

[Bowser]

How many billions of dollars does Adrian Peterson help stimulate in the world of fantasy football as opposed to what Eric Berry contributes?

That's the thing. All that pink during fucking October is going to look really bad if the NFL snubs a player who not only survives cancer and comes back, but comes back playing the best football of his entire career-- even better than his usual Pro Bowl self.

Not to take anything away from Carson Palmer's recovery, but ACL tears aren't a big deal anymore. Probably every team has a dude tear his ACL and come back to play again the following year. It's not the injury it once was. Still doesn't mean it isn't impressive, but compared to a guy who went through 6 months of chemotherapy and came back playing BETTER than he ever has? There's no question which recovery is more worthwhile of an award.

[BigMeatballDave]

Someone on my Facebook feed mentioned Incognito LMAO

[Mav]

"Coming back" from a domestic violence suspension shouldn't be considered for an award.


He shouldn't be eligible for any award.

[Squalor2]

this is a post from an espn hack. no leather.

[-King-]

He shouldn't be eligible for any award.

Since he's playing he should be eligible for every award except for this because this award accounts for what he's coming back from.

Brief, to the point, and spot on.

That is such a good summary that I'm tempted to post it on Facebook and pretend that I wrote it.

[chiefzilla1501]

Exactly. But even putting emotions aside....

What exactly was Petersons obstacle coming back? He was rusty? Berry was recovering from chemo, couldn't do physical activity for almost a year, and had a limited offseason. Adrian Peterson probabky spent all of last year staying in good shape and had a normal offseason.

Fair enough.

[Sully]

Why would he win it? beat me.

[rambleonthruthefog]

You people to understand that AP hasn't won anything yet, right? This was merely an article pointing out which players have had to "come back" and who has done so at a high caliber of play. All players mentioned fit the criteria. That being said, AP has no business winning(he won't) because of what he had to come back from. Entioning him is perfectly acceptable,, though. Hopefully AP has taken the necessary steps to become a better father and person.

Agreed on every count. Goodell though.

Mentioning him as a candidate and ranking above Berry is absolutely not acceptable. It's shameful.

If we are including perfectly healthy people as comeback candidates, then that defeats the whole purpose of coming back. What adversity did AP go through during his comeback? Getting himself into football shape and rust. Big whoop. Even child abuse aside, putting suspended players on a comeback list above players who fought like hell to heal and get back on the field is a travesty.

[ModSocks]

If Adrian Peterson is eligible for Comeback Player of the Year, then Greg Hardy should be too. Nearly identical circumstances, are they not?

[MotherfuckerJones]

Chris carter and the Mike & Mike guys talked about AP, Palmer and Crabtree this morning as comeback candidates. :facepalm:

Yup. For the people who say "who cares, just a know nothing writer"... There isn't much outrage outside of KC and there are still people saying this stupid shit. If we don't make noise, I think there's a legit chance Berry doesn't get this award. And I don't know that I've ever cared for a guy to win an award as much as I do this one.

What the fuck did he come back from? A year of rest? Big fuckin whoop

[The Franchise]

Palmer is the only legitimate player that could win the award over Berry.....and I wouldn't be super pissed off. Dude has had 2 torn ACLs now and he's playing fucking lights out. Any other player? Go fuck yourself, NFL.

[TimBone]

Why would he win it? beat me.

- AP's kid
You probably could have still added the s.

[KCUnited]

Despite the Play-Doh ligements in his knee, don't overlook Palmer being a ginger and playing in the desert. Dome or not, he has to live there half the year.
