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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
