Bleacher report had an interesting article (can someone link, I'm on phone browser and it is teh suck) on the 25 best comebacks of the decade. They gave Vick 2010 the top spot, whereas triple crown Smitty got #7. I thought it was ridiculous, but my homer glasses are welded on permanently so maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts?

Oh, and Delhomme got #24 for 2003.

vick came back from, ahem, personal trouble and put together his best year as a QB after a year of sitting on the bench. he did this on an absolutely stacked offense.

smith came back from a broken leg and put together one of the best years for a wide receiver ever, won the triple crown, and did this on a team where the second leading receiver was a running back.

Definitely '05 Smith, his team went further in the playoffs.:cool: On another note, Steve Smith didn't really win the triple crown. He lead in receiving yards, but tied in receiving touchdowns and receptions that year. Yet I guess they say that is good enough, but I'm not satisfied with that title considering he isn't the sole leader in all three categories. Smith's nickname used to be Captain YAC, it's time he brought that one back.

      Garrett Wilson is doubtful

      Technically speaking, Fields has been a better QB than Bryce Young in the NFL.  I mean it’s bottom rung comparing by BY isn’t better.  Thats what I don’t get about the talk this week.  We don’t have a QB edge

      Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though.  Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems.   Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.

      I fought sleep to stay awake just to watch that fumble on the goal line as we were going in for the go ahead score and said fug it, I'm going to bed. I've seen this movie before. I know how this ends. This bullshit of having California teams in conference with east coast teams is trash. That game probably didn't end until 2:30AM. Hell, it was 2AM at the time of the fumble and there was still 3+ minutes to play. In conference games being played into the 2AM hour for local audiences is terrible for the game. And the worst rule in football really does need fixed. Fumbling through the endzone or a fumble recovers by the D in the end zone should not result in a touch back and the ball on the 20. Fumbling through the endzone should not be a turnover. Fumbling out of bounds isn't a turnover anywhere else on the field. That should be the offense's ball on the one yard line. If the D recovers it in the endzone it should be the D's ball on the one yard line. Everyone knows this and everyone talks about it so just fix it already. If Cal was getting the ball at the goal line instead of out to the 20 I would've kept watching. That's a completely different scenario than the ball at the 20.
