Though Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington might not win the MVP award, he’ll have a consolation prize.

His second Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award.

Pennington, who started all 16 games in his first year with the Dolphins after starting only eight in 2007 with the Jets, received 19 of 50 votes.

Pennington also won the award in 2006, a year after playing in only three games.

Titans quarterback Kerry Collins and Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme received six votes.

Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin, and Buccaneers receiver Antonio Bryant earned four votes each.

Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter received three votes, and one vote each went to Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, Steelers safety Ryan Clark, and Ravens tackle Willie Anderson.

that's stupid jake did a surgery that only two QB have been documented having and both retired fast after receiving it. Having that surgery was a gamble and has helped with football modern science. Now that someone has tried and tested surgery many other NFL players can have hope and use it knowing that someone has tried it and succeeded at it instead of retiring. What did chad comback from having a bad year? if so i'd rather they have given it to Kerry Collins, Antiono Bryant, Julius Peppers ect lot of people have comeback from bad a bad year and not have a good supporting cast as he did. I don't blame chad but i blame press. Well at least jake has terry award lol.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
