Joe Flacco wins Comeback Player of the Year

[MJAlltheWay24]

I think a lot of people assumed that DeMar Hamlin was going to win the award this year, but Joe Flacco took it home, despite Hamlin getting more first place votes.

I think the sportsbooks made a nice profit on this decision. Did they have their hands in it? lol jk

I guess having to play for the Jets is worse than death?    That's the only assumption I can draw.

So him winning it was ridiculous already... He didn't even get the most first place votes? What kinda clown award is this?

Yeah, Damar Hamlin got more first place votes but I guess however they calculate the votes got more points or whatever for Flacco.

Plus, if I am not mistaken he only played 5 games in the regular season. Really for me based on overall performance I am not a Baker Mayfield fan, but he probably had the best season. imo

Like the MVP, I have no idea what this award is supposed to be about. Found this from an old NFL.com article: By definition, the CPOY Award is given to a player who "shows perseverance in overcoming adversity, in the form of not being in the NFL the previous year, a severe injury, or simply poor performance."
