Stafford beasted, this year. If he can keep playing like this, the Lions will be perennial playoff contenders

[SteveRobWhatever]

He's only 23, that's just scary. Injuries are the only things that can derail him at this point. Good to see he held up all year, hopefully the injury bug is a thing of the past. Now, can he pass some of his secrets along to Kevin Smith?

[CaptainStubing]

yes, stafford is scary good and scary young. i'm just not sure his season should be defined as a 'comeback' year .............. if we're giving an award for a 'breakout' season, then stafford would be my winner with guys like Alex Smith in the conversation.

To me, a 'comeback' player should be someone who had defined himself as a great player in this league for some period of time prior to his injury/slump and subsequent 'comeback'. Stafford hadn't been on the field enough his first 2 years to really say what he was.

I would say Elvis Dumervil or DQwell Jackson or Reggie Bush or Steve Smith are 'comeback' candidates but I don't see guys like Stafford or Alex Smith (who was getting some hype for this award) even qualify for it.

[YEAH DUDE!]

Honestly...I'm kinda surprised he won it, yeah he got hurt but the spark was there. Now Smith? Yeah Alex Smith should of won for sure. The guy had been a bum for what like 7 years?

[Steve12]

Smith has always sucked. There's nothing to come "back" from. Stafford has been hurt so really the same deal there.

[CaptainStubing]

yes, alex smith (and i believe stafford) both had breakout years, not comeback years, because they weren't 'coming back' to greatness............ both of them just discovered greatness for the first time this year.............. the comeback probably should have been reggie bush or dqwell
