Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has won the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year award, according to Mlive.com. The award, voted on by the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association, will be officially announced on February 4.

Stafford, 23, threw for 5,038 yards and 41 touchdowns (97.2 QB Rating) this past season. He played in just 13 games total in his first two seasons, finishing each season on the injured reserve. This season, however, he started all 16 games.

Personally, I think Smitty was screwed.

if smitty won the award, it would kind of be a spit in the face to his career. so i'm sort of glad he didnt
interesting perspective, but i agree.

agreed about stafford as well...though i'm not sure he ever really arrived. i considered this more his break out year. or maybe his "break-free" year

cause i think it's the first year he didn't get hurt.

i dunno. i was just impressed with how he did. the dude is a tough competitor and he's got a lot of talent.

Sorry man, Stafford 100% deserves this award. He has elevated himself in the conversation of the top 6 or 7 QBs in the league after all the whispers about his durability and done it with the 29th rated rushing offense (which was boosted heavily in the game against us, FML). Smith himself was never the problem here on the offense so in essence he didn't really "come back" from anything, other than crappy QB play.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
