ChosenOne Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/photo/2009-04/46299854.jpg NEW YORK - Tom Terrific is back. Tom Brady has gone from record-setting MVP to injured superstar to The Associated Press 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Brady's strong return from a left knee injury that sidelined him for all but the first quarter of the 2008 opener earned the Patriots quarterback the award Wednesday. One of football's biggest stars, Brady has gone from NFL Most Valuable Player in 2007, when he set several passing records, to sidelined to earning his second league award. He received 19 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL, beating Tampa Bay running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, who got 14. A three-time Super Bowl winner and a finalist for AP Player of the Decade, Brady led New England to a 10-6 record and the AFC East title this season. He threw for 4,398 yards and 28 touchdowns. Most significantly, he got the Patriots back into the playoffs, and he showed more than a few glimpses of the player who guided the Patriots to the first 16-0 regular season in NFL history, throwing a record 50 TDs that year.

The Regime Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Cedric Benson should and probably would have won it if he hadnt got injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Marsh>R-Moss Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) This isn't shocking, Vinsanity Young should have won the award though. But Brady will be Brady. Edited January 7, 2010 by B-Marsh>R-Moss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 This isn't shocking, Vinsanity Young should have won the award though. But Brady will be Brady.I agree that Vince should have won this award. He really turned the team around and almost brought them to an unthinkable playoff birth.

xx. Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah, he didn't deserve that. A true comeback player like Benson or Vince Young deserve it for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah, he didn't deserve that. A true comeback player like Benson or Vince Young deserve it for real. Cedric Benson deserves no consideration. He wasn't a comeback player, he was a breakout player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Greatness Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The player named Comeback Player of the Year shows perseverance in overcoming adversity, in the form of not being in the NFL the previous year, a severe injury, or simply poor performance. Not surprising. Brady was a lock to win it this year the moment he was injured last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
