Thomas Davis deserves some mention, despite the fact that he doesn't have a shot. I love his story though.

ADP. having a career season after that kind of knee injury. freaking amazing! Peyton is impressive as well. But ADP.

ADP deserves it but this thing will be given to Peyton.
Speaking of guys who have no shot at consideration, Danario Alexander's ascent to elite WR is amazing.

Why does a player need to miss a significant amount of games to be a comeback player? So you would have been more impressed with AD getting injured in week 3 of last year, missing more games and having more time to recover before coming back this year? Then he would be eligible for the comeback player. Make sense.So the Comeback Player of the Year can now go to players who miss 4 or so games?AP shouldn't even be on the ballot for Comeback Player.

Technically ADP is not really coming back since he played almost all of last season. If ADP miss the last 3 games with an ankle sprain would he be the comeback player of the year?Forget about the comeback award. ADP is going to win the MVP Award.Why does a player need to miss a significant amount of games to be a comeback player?

It doesn't mean coming back from an injury after missing time. It can be a comeback after having a down year. Hell, players have won it for breaking out after a season or two of disappointing (which I think is dumb, but whatever).
both are amazing, but I give the nod to Peyton since he missed the entire season last year and switched teams in the process.
Even if AP breaks the rushing record he will not win the MVP award. I don't think any player from any non-playoff team should ever win the MVP, because clearly whatever they are doing is not good enough to make the team a winner. People may complain about it being the MVQB nowadays but I see good reason for that. The game is so immensely complex and the QB is responsible for so much of it that it really takes someone playing a skill position incredibly well (and for that team to be winning because of it) for them to warrant consideration over even an above average QB. Someone like Rodgers, even this year, with what he does on every single play is just incredible. The amount of information he processes is amazing and then to be able to make an athletic play based on that information is even better. Rodgers or Brady have my vote for MVP, hands-down.Technically ADP is not really coming back since he played almost all of last season.

can we have a co-comeback player of the year?

After further thought I'd give Manning the "comeback" award for that reason..Ap Should get MVP regardless if the team makes the playoffs or not.
He is returning for ACL surgery, threatening the 2000 yard mark, all while playing with one of the worst starting QB in the NFL right now.
Vikings would be lucky to have 3 wins without AP.. IMO, THAT is the definition of MVP.
The Broncos won in the playoffs last year with Tim Tebow at QB.
So, although Manning is having a great year, the Broncos were already a pretty good team.

Someone on Twitter (Chase?) was suggesting taking away Stafford's award from last year and giving it to Peterson.
I don't think AP wins the MVP award over Peyton or Brady if the Vikings don't even make the playoffs.

I think Denver would still be in the playoffs, with or without Manning.. They were there last year with Tebow and their division still stinks.Patriots.. hmmm I could see the argument for Brady as the Patriots wouldn't be very good without him.. Then again, look at their division.Vikings without Peterson, in this division?? 3 wins, if they were lucky.. If he hits the 2,000 yard mark, I'm Not sure what else a player has to do to be worthy of the MVP'Aaron Rudnicki said:

I'm giving it to Peterson. I don't care who missed more time. Heck, I think that should make Peterson's that much more impressive. We've seen what happens after ACL injuries and the fact this guy isn't even a year removed from an injury that people usually take 1+ years to recover is worthy of my useless vote. Peyton is impressive but that team won that division last year. And fair or not, nobody really knows what was wrong with Peyton. His recovery was kept hush-hush so for me, it is hard to know what he had to go through. We've seen the grueling rehab it takes for an ACL. I know Peyton went and worked out at Duke but when waiting for his nerves to regrow, I just think of him sitting around watching TV. Is there anything you can do to actually regrow nerves?

I like the co-MVP/CPOY idea.

I just think back to what Manning is all about... His brain, while he needs to be able to get out there and make the throws at the same time he has always been about being a field general and basically controlling his team Madden style and getting mis-matches and what not.
AP on the other hand is all about his body, how he can cut, the power he can put into a hit, and the speed he has to break a run.
I find it much more fitting that AP gets the comeback because he suffered an injury that does hamper a player for about 1+ year. Not only did he come back but he has a shot at breaking the rushing record.
With 3 weeks left still time will tell where the numbers end up at the end of the year.... Does Manning go off the next couple weeks? Does AP carry his team to the playoffs or break the rushing record?
I like AP at this point still but who knows what the next 3 weeks will bring, also alot of people make a great point that Tebow and company won the west last year so is what Manning doing so great? Or is it more in line with what a good QB would do? On the other hand only one of the best RBs even could do what AP does knowing how bad the passing offense is.

Who thought he would never play again? http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/11178865-419/doctors-peyton-mannings-neck-may-be-stronger.html
I don't think people really knew what was wrong with Peyton and that is what scares them. Sure, it wasn't a given he'd return but many doctors said it was more about arm strength and regaining nerves. The nerves didn't appear to have anything to do with Peyton while he does get credit for getting his arm strength back. But I look at Comeback POY as someone who works his butt off to come back from an injury and that would be AP. Sure, people come back from ACL's all the time but how many come back as strong or even stronger? How many come back 8.5 months later and can come back looking like the old AP? That is just a testament to how hard he works.
