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.

    • Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.
    • I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is. 
    • I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
