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.

    • Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position. 
    • I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....
    • Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
