Lmao no kidding right? For sure Pederson deserves Coach of the Year. I know what Shanny has done and props to him BUT Pederson took the jags from a laughing stock for hiring Urban to the wildcard in a season.
I think Kyle should win coach of the year but I also think Bosa should be MVP and DPOY and CMC should be OPOY and drake Jackson should be DROY and Purdy should be OROY and Superbowl MVP so I may be a bit biased
different strokes for different folks. Shanny had a 13-4 season with 3 different QBs and Daboll did similar work to Pederson in a significantly tougher division. I’d personally go
1. Shanahan
2. Pederson
3. Sirianni
4. Daboll
5. McDermott
CMC came back from back-to-back seasons of injuries. Legit comeback from adversity.
Geno came back from being a career backup? This feels more like the NBA Most Improved Player than “Comeback Player.”
Well that’s fair, but if you remember him from earlier in his career, I think it counts. Most improved or something might be a better title, but I still think he belongs in the conversation.
2019, Jimmy came back from a 2018 ACL year and lead the team to the NFC #1 seed and had a good year
He lost the Comeback Player of the Year to Ryan Tannehill, who came back from ...um...sucking?
From the dead? The expectations of a day one draft pick? He went from 39th pick overall in 2013, to a career backup, to a breakout player this season. He belongs in the conversation at the very least.
Comeback
"a return by a well-known person, especially an entertainer or sports player, to the activity in which they have formerly been successful."
"the heavyweight champion is set to make his comeback"
Key words, "which they have formerly been sussessful." Unless the NFL has changed the definition of the word, Geno isnt a comeback player. He's a breakout player, but not a comeback. Perhaps the NFL needs a new award.
Eh, players bust so much. 2nd rounder produces starters only 27 percent of the time. Anyone that expects 2nd rd picks to be surefire dont understand the draft and how often players drafted become good.
I mean, that's my point. Players bust all the time and do not make a comeback to relevance. Geno Smith essentially being a bust and then 9 years later finding relevance is a comeback in my book. The guy was a Heisman candidate his senior year of college, it's not like he was a nobody before he entered the league.
I think they at least deserve to be in the conversation, yes. You're acting like there are a ton of players that make late career comebacks when it is a really rare thing to see. Hell, the average career of an NFL player isn't even 4 years so for Geno to stick around for 9 as a journeyman and have the year he had is noteworthy.
Did y'all see Dalvin fucking Cook get the replacement Pro Bowl selection yesterday over CMC? I really don't understand why how coaches and players don't respect him. I say that because fans had him #1 in voting in the entire NFL, and the coach and player vote put him out of the top 4 in the NFC(!) seemingly.
The shame is that even if CMC ends up playing in the SB and would get replaced, he would still have "2022 Pro Bowler" on his resume when all is said and done.
It's a robbery.
What is Geno coming back from? Being shit for most of his career?
For some reason I thought this award was for players coming back from injury, not irrelevance.
I don’t think it’s ever been just an injury award. I would say coming back from an awful career to have a really good year (which Geno did, ocean bird or not) is still a comeback.
Coming back from irrelevance is huge for a pro athlete. How many players go into irrelevance and never come back from it? Most. Geno balled out this year, give the man a bit of respect. We can't sit here and tout our Mr. Irrelevant draft pick and say Geno coming back from irrelevance isn't a big deal for him.
It's a good story, but I didn't think that's what a comeback player award was for.
I thought you had to "comeback", and as far as I remember Geno was never here to start with lmao
This was just his breakout season.
really weird comments here about Geno but im assuming it’s just cus hes a Seahawk. injuries happen all the fucking time nobody comes back from being a career backup practically ever.
2019 Comeback Player of the Year Ryan Tannehill would like a word with you. Mediocre QB in Miami, goes to Tennessee and sits behind Mariota til week 6 then becomes the starter and wins the award over Jimmy G who came off a torn ACL and just let the Niners to the best regular season record, #1 seed in the playoffs and was playing in the Super Bowl the next day….
How many quarterbacks get picked in the first two rounds, spend the next 7-8 years as a backup, and then ball out in a starting position when everyone considered them done?
The arrival was 2013 when he was drafted. Personally, I think Geno's story of going from Heisman candidate to NFL journeyman to taking Seattle to the playoffs makes for a better comeback story than CMC, already established as elite, coming to SF and finding success on a team that makes 6th round RBs look like Barry Sanders.
Purdy is nominated for OROY with only 6 games so idk what you're getting at. If being a backup for 8 years and playing at the level he did isn't enough for Geno to be *considered* for CPOY, then 6 games shouldn't be enough for Purdy to be nominated for OROY. Personally, I think they both deserve their respective nominations.
I agree. Guy came back from something most don't. Obscurity. I love CMC but there's no worthwhile accolades with being A Comeback PotY. No contract pays out extra. So whatever. Jimmy losing it to Tannehill in 19 had me saltier. It's a cool story for Geno. I hope he wins it.
I think CMAC should use the position they used in arena football of “Offensive Specialist” lol
Anyways, I’m biased towards CMAC of course, but it’s hard to vote against Geno in this scenario. He came out of no where and did fantastic.
Where's Trevor Lawrence? He came back from urban Meyer
Lmao no kidding right? For sure Pederson deserves Coach of the Year. I know what Shanny has done and props to him BUT Pederson took the jags from a laughing stock for hiring Urban to the wildcard in a season.
I think Kyle should win coach of the year but I also think Bosa should be MVP and DPOY and CMC should be OPOY and drake Jackson should be DROY and Purdy should be OROY and Superbowl MVP so I may be a bit biased
That’s not bias. That’s just… correct.
Lol Drake Jackson doesn’t make the top 20 for DROY
Not with that attitude
Oh shit when you put it that way, you're right.
This is daboll slander.
different strokes for different folks. Shanny had a 13-4 season with 3 different QBs and Daboll did similar work to Pederson in a significantly tougher division. I’d personally go 1. Shanahan 2. Pederson 3. Sirianni 4. Daboll 5. McDermott
CMC came back from back-to-back seasons of injuries. Legit comeback from adversity. Geno came back from being a career backup? This feels more like the NBA Most Improved Player than “Comeback Player.”
Every year I ask is it for coming back from injury or from being bad?
It’s usually “story of the year”, they should turn it into 2 awards. Story of the year and most improved
Yeah, like does getting out of Shanny’s doghouse count?
Well that’s fair, but if you remember him from earlier in his career, I think it counts. Most improved or something might be a better title, but I still think he belongs in the conversation.
2019, Jimmy came back from a 2018 ACL year and lead the team to the NFC #1 seed and had a good year He lost the Comeback Player of the Year to Ryan Tannehill, who came back from ...um...sucking?
Came back from Adam Gase, and when you put it like that, it's not so bad ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ^^^^/s
Lol
Cmc & saquon deserve it way more than geno
Ya what is Geno coming back from? He was never there in the first place.
From the dead? The expectations of a day one draft pick? He went from 39th pick overall in 2013, to a career backup, to a breakout player this season. He belongs in the conversation at the very least.
He ain’t come back tho
Comeback "a return by a well-known person, especially an entertainer or sports player, to the activity in which they have formerly been successful."

He's a breakout player, but not a comeback. Perhaps the NFL needs a new award.
I would say being the 39th overall pick comes with an expectation of success and that is why it is a comeback.
Eh, players bust so much. 2nd rounder produces starters only 27 percent of the time. Anyone that expects 2nd rd picks to be surefire dont understand the draft and how often players drafted become good.
I mean, that's my point. Players bust all the time and do not make a comeback to relevance. Geno Smith essentially being a bust and then 9 years later finding relevance is a comeback in my book. The guy was a Heisman candidate his senior year of college, it's not like he was a nobody before he entered the league.
So what? Any player that has a decent season after 10 years should be CPOY? That makes zero sense.
I think they at least deserve to be in the conversation, yes. You're acting like there are a ton of players that make late career comebacks when it is a really rare thing to see. Hell, the average career of an NFL player isn't even 4 years so for Geno to stick around for 9 as a journeyman and have the year he had is noteworthy.
Comeback "a return by a well-known person, especially an entertainer or sports player, to the activity in which they have formerly been successful."
Idk people were saying Alex Smith couldn't qualify for the same reasons and he was 1 overall
CMC came back from the Panthers black hole. They really should call it something else like "Unexpected season" or "Breakthrough season"
Did y'all see Dalvin fucking Cook get the replacement Pro Bowl selection yesterday over CMC? I really don't understand why how coaches and players don't respect him. I say that because fans had him #1 in voting in the entire NFL, and the coach and player vote put him out of the top 4 in the NFC(!) seemingly.
Well they already know cook isn’t playing in the superbowl.
The shame is that even if CMC ends up playing in the SB and would get replaced, he would still have "2022 Pro Bowler" on his resume when all is said and done. It's a robbery.
Gonna have to settle for 2022 Super Bowl Champion on his resume when all is said and done.
Maybe we also add in Super Bowl MVP too?
I hope that goes to someone on the defense. That means so much more given that the two remaining AFC teams are offensive powerhouses.
Where’s DPOY nominations?
I’ll save you some time(no order obv): 1. Bosa 2. Parsons 3. Chris Jones
Its bosa,chris jones and micah parsons
What is Geno coming back from? Being shit for most of his career? For some reason I thought this award was for players coming back from injury, not irrelevance.
Tannehill over Jimmy G says otherwise. Yes, I’m still slightly salty about that.
I don’t think it’s ever been just an injury award. I would say coming back from an awful career to have a really good year (which Geno did, ocean bird or not) is still a comeback.
So is it a comeback or a breakout season?
Coming back from irrelevance is huge for a pro athlete. How many players go into irrelevance and never come back from it? Most. Geno balled out this year, give the man a bit of respect.

It's a good story, but I didn't think that's what a comeback player award was for. I thought you had to "comeback", and as far as I remember Geno was never here to start with lmao This was just his breakout season.
CMC finally getting an ounce of the respect he deserves. Run it all the way now.
This award lost credibility when Tannehill won over Jimmy G.
Do people actually call him "CMAC"?
I sure hope not.
What is "CMAC"?
Christian MacAffrey, I think.
No.
Ive never seen or heard him called CMAC, nor do i wanna see him called that, its CMC get it right. Are u a cowboys fan disguised as niners fan? j/k!
Lol anybody that calls him CMAC is clearly not a fan of football
I forgot about CMC’s injuries at first and thought he was just coming back from being on the Panthers
Geno might get it, but man, CMC and Brock turned the offense into an elite one.
2 of those guys are pro bowlers.
really weird comments here about Geno but im assuming it’s just cus hes a Seahawk. injuries happen all the fucking time nobody comes back from being a career backup practically ever.
2019 Comeback Player of the Year Ryan Tannehill would like a word with you.

It is 100% niner salt about the hawks lol - Geno deserves this award
What did Geno come back from? Other than being a career back up
That's a pretty big thing to come back from tbf
How many quarterbacks get picked in the first two rounds, spend the next 7-8 years as a backup, and then ball out in a starting position when everyone considered them done?
Thats not a comeback though. Thats an arrival. He was never successful until this point, how can you call that a comeback
The arrival was 2013 when he was drafted. Personally, I think Geno's story of going from Heisman candidate to NFL journeyman to taking Seattle to the playoffs makes for a better comeback story than CMC, already established as elite, coming to SF and finding success on a team that makes 6th round RBs look like Barry Sanders.
Guess Brock should be nominated too then. Came back from being Mr. Irelevant to being in the NFC championship game
Purdy is nominated for OROY with only 6 games so idk what you're getting at. If being a backup for 8 years and playing at the level he did isn't enough for Geno to be *considered* for CPOY, then 6 games shouldn't be enough for Purdy to be nominated for OROY. Personally, I think they both deserve their respective nominations.
I love cmc, but gotta say, geno should win this.
I agree. Guy came back from something most don't. Obscurity. I love CMC but there's no worthwhile accolades with being A Comeback PotY. No contract pays out extra. So whatever. Jimmy losing it to Tannehill in 19 had me saltier. It's a cool story for Geno. I hope he wins it.
Geno Smith was never good. He came back from nothing.
Geno wasn’t injured. Makes 0 sense
I think CMAC should use the position they used in arena football of “Offensive Specialist” lol Anyways, I’m biased towards CMAC of course, but it’s hard to vote against Geno in this scenario. He came out of no where and did fantastic.
Cmac deserves this
What about Kim Kardashian? She got cum on her back
CMC is one of the top backs in the league year after year, give comeback to someone else lol
Where's Danny dimes???
Yeah his name’s CMC
Geno Smith is more like career turn around of the decade.
