Who is comeback player of the year
 

Going into today...

Adrian Peterson... 265 attempts, 1,600 yards, 10 touchdowns
*He has another long td run today already

Peyton Manning... 104 QB rating, 3,812 yards, 30 touchdown passes

do you really need to ask?

sincerly,

Peyton

AP

Manning will win it, but Peterson should.

All day

I think Peterson should win the MVP, but Manning will.

They'll give AP the Comeback player award as a consolation prize.

This. Plays a much more bruising and physical position.

Seems like a likey scenario.

AP. Mannings having a great year but AP might have a historic season and he's doing it even though their passing offense has gone into the tank.

I'll give comeback player of the year to AP.
Manning gets my MVP. There is NO WAY the RB position is MORE valuable than the QB position. AP won't even get his team into the playoffs... whereas Manning may take a mediocre Broncos team deep into the playoffs if not the superbowl.

They should both win it co winners if thats possible. They are both playing ****ing great. Its a toss up honestly

AP. no doubt. He didn't have some little neck injury, he ****ing blew out his knee.

That's pretty much how I feel. I vote AP though officially.

"AP should" ???? **** that with a big chocolaty Jamaal Charles dick.

That "mediocre" Bronco team won 8 games with Tim TeBow at QB.

Their defense came on in the middle of the season last year, and have only improved, and their receivers have some talent.

Manning is tapping into that talent, and the defense gets a chance to really play to their strength.

AP blew out his ACL DEC 24th...has a RB ever returned from an ACL injury that quickly and followed it up with a season such as his...?

Nobody knows how bad Peyton's neck was but Peyton. He has had a season much better than expected...but what AP has done in less than a year is almost sickening.

Peyton Manning although it could go either way

240 attempts, 1220 yards, 4 touchdowns. Great to have him back but he's not AP. Team MVP though... since there's so much competition for that.

No Jamaal Charles option?

No, because he's not in the same company as those two... and I didn't feel the need to skew voting with a homer option. JC has no shot. See post #18.

This. I ****ing hate the forehead, but the NFL slobbers all over that family.:banghead:

I can see how that would skew the poll, but disagree that he's not in the same company.

POLL FAIL! :)

This and completely this. Hasn't even been a year. That was an incredibly quick recovery to be dominating like he is.

That's because they're really good heh.

My wording may have been off but my meaning is he's not in AP's range stat wise this season. He's great no doubt. He'd probably have a good shot most years.

I did consider including Brady Quinn as a "Gaz" option but a bunch of numbnuts would vote for him... hence poll skewed. I'm actually interested in an honest vote heh.

AD

Adrian Peterson might break that record. He's a ****ing beast, you could make arguments for either one but AD might do something Legendary.

AP > PM

I'm at the airport, and there's a guy at my gate wearing a brand new #58 Broncos jersey with the name "Manning" on the back. I'll try to get a picture, but he's facing me so I can't get the back.

Manning. ACL injuries are no longer the career threatening injury the used to be. Manning is back from missing a year and with a completely different team. He was also cut by his previous team.

Peterson has ran for more yards than Manning has thrown for today...

Homer alert!

Peterson hands down

AP because Peyton will likely get MVP

it's AP.

close thread.

Yea knee injuries to running backs don't mean shit anymore.

:facepalm:

Damn...less than 300 away from Dickersons record now.

if you need a refresher of how bad it was a year ago

a lot of people well educated in the health field said that AP might not ever play again and if he did would never be the same.

and people just see the results a year later, but forget what kind of sacrifices this guy made, he spent an entire year/offseason doing what it took to end up where he is today

laying in bed on New Years Eve with a blown out leg being surgically repaired. The dude wasnt delaying surgery so he can party or hobbling around with a bum leg to go bowling or at the local Dave and Busters Andrew Bynum style.

He did what it took to get back, because he is paid as such and has earned everything. A real pro athlete.

I think Peyton Manning has came back from more but I'm going with Adrian Peterson because he is on pace to put up numbers that only a handful of people have done before.

I'd give Manning the MVP over Peterson though because he has helped his team win more games.

One win against a team over .500.

We beat Atlanta and Houston if we played them tomorrow. NE is a tossup.

LMAO

Shut the **** up dumbass.

NE is a tossup.

LMAO

Thomas Davis.

We would be favored if they played us at Denver. They would be favored if we played in NE. It's a tossup.

Guess what?

You don't play them tomorrow.

Jalil Brown, no question.

You, my friend, are a complete and utter moron.

People said the exact same stuff about Manning, dude. Just about everybody thought he would only be a fraction of his former self if he could even play at all.

And you are the biggest Peyton Manning basher on this forum.

no they said that he would be weak/out of shape. Every doctor in the world pretty much said him jamming stem cells into his neck would heal it. The part was he sat out the NFL for a year, and would need to play the neck back into strength.

He didnt rip his neck off and lay there on the field like AP did with his leg. His leg is ****ing backwards. Backwards. Like never play again backwards.

This has nothing to do with Manning bashing.

The Donkeys are probably the second best team in the AFC right now (debatable with Houston, since they can get after the QB and Manning has always struggled with 34 defenses that can pressure the QB and disrupt the timing of his offense), but they have achieved their record due to a soft schedule since the 6th game of the season.

AP has carried that Viking team, with no one respecting the pass in a passing league.

Matt Cassel and it's not even close.

If he didn't comeback down to earth this year how many more years would we have had to put up with his mediocrity?

Jon Ekstrom ‏@JonEkstrom
From @RLiuNFL Adrian Peterson’s 1,313 rush yards are most in @nfl history over 8 game span in single season. #MVPeterson

No Cassel option?

I'd think you could be happy for Peyton Manning. Theresh just no pleashing you.

Even though he really hasn't beaten any teams worth a shit until today.

wait, what?

How would AP win comeback player of the year?

He played in every game last year. He was injured in the final game.

I don't think he fits this criteria.

That's true.

Sorry Milkman, but you are. Your hate for Manning often clouds your judgment when debating Manning.

This is something you've never understood.

I like the guy a lot.

I think he's a helluva regular season QB, and is someone who would probably enjoy having a beer with.

I also know he's the greatest playoff choker among the all time great QBs.

Fair enough.

I'll just agree to disagree. Now, Brady is kind of a victim of circumstance but the records show...he hasn't won anything since spygate (2004).

That's actually a really good point.

And I'd agree with the point you are alluding to here.

Dear Lord, save the shtick Nancy.

It's really easy.

These hacks can make up any criteria they want to justify the pick, and they will, as they always do.

Oh, I have a new stalker.

Yay, me.

If by skimming threads and consistently finding you with diaper rash, then yep. Chalk me up as a modern day John Hinckley.

He came back from serious injury... one that some thought might end his career... to have the season he's having. It's not the ****ing tough.

Gayle Sayers likes this post.

Maybe if these chumps had listened to me and signed Manning, I'd be happy.

Hard to argue about either of them winning it, both are very deserving.

AD is having an awesome year, but Running backs don't mean shit that much anymore.

AP had 970 yards and 12 tds before he got hurt last year, those are pretty good numbers that he is going to get ready to shatter, that being said my vote goes to Peyton because AP did have good year last year, he just worked his ass off in rehab.

I'm not bashing Peterson, I just don't think he fits the criteria for the award.

I think it has to go to Peyton, but Jamaal Charles should probably finish 2nd.

AP, he'll get Comback player. MVP will probably go to Peyton.

I think both are deserving of both awards. I'd probably give Peyton Comeback Award as he was out a full season. AP is carrying a horrific team that is currently the 6th seed in the NFC IIRC. How that is possible with the abortion of QB and secondary play that team has, I have no idea.

Peyton deserves both awards

not sure how you could give Peyton MVP and not Brady...maybe it's time to bust out the ol' CO-MVP for this year

This, if Vikings make playoffs

in fact, for once, I'd probably just give the MVP to Adrian Peterson.

QB's throwing 40 TD's and 5000 yards is something we are seeing every year now. It's just another season for those two.

This Adrian guy...oh my lord. I'd definitely not bitch about him being MVP. He deserves it.

IMO AP deserves the combeack award. ACL + MCL late last season. Is back for week 1 and then has the season he has had, incredible.
