Bettis had 811 yards and 7 TD's last year. What is he coming back from....mediocrity?
He's having a better year this year, that's for sure, but I think comback player of the year should be for someone who has done something pretty special.
Although I don't really believe Brees deserves it either, he should get it over Bettis. He took the joke of the league and brought them to the playoffs.
