NFL Comeback Player of the Year was an easy decision

The 2010-2011 NFL Comeback Player of the Year was Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback, Michael Vick. Honestly, I don't know how it could be anyone else. Two years ago, the guy was serving time in prison. Last year, he was used as more of a decoy than anything else in the Eagles' offense. This year, he was a back-up to Kevin Kolb at season's start and he went on to post the best numbers of his career.

On the year, Vick completed 233 of 372 passes (62.6%). The 233 completions was a career high and the 62.6% completion percentage was also a career high. He threw for 3,018 yards (another career high), averaging 8.1 yards per attempt (yes, a career high) for 21 touchdowns (take a wild guess - yup, a career high), a long of 91 (career high) with a quarterback rating of 100.2 (that's right, a career high). To go along with these great numbers, he was only intercepted 6 times, a career low for a season in which he played at least 12 games. To go along with his passing totals, the Eagles' quarterback rushed the ball 100 times for 676 yards (6.8 p/), with a long of 35 and 9 touchdowns on the ground (a career high). That's 8 career highs for Vick, a guy whom many doubted would ever play in the NFL again, let alone start, following his time spent in Leavenworth.

I don't care what the holier-than-thou folk have to say. There was only one viable candidate for this award and it was Michael Vick.
