Beef Jerky Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Not really the kind of comeback that gets players awards The CPOY award usually goes to players coming back from injury or having a resurgence in productivity after a down year or two. Coming back from suspension or banishment doesn't really fall into that category. This actually in my eyes is an even better story. Man on wrong path changed his ways to work harder then ever to correct himself on and off the field... Instead of just fading away as an !@#$. Kind of proves that second chances aren't just bunk. Of course cancer will win b.c Cancer story>Just about everything else. Edited December 13, 2015 by Beef Jerky
justnzane Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Navarro Bowman would be another consideration to ponder. He has been good all year on a **** team. Berry or him deserve it more than AP or Richie Palmer did well of course but he was good last year when healthy. Edited December 13, 2015 by justnzane
Nanker Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 They're yacking about him on ProFootballTalk: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/12/12/richie-incognito-bills-had-my-back-im-giving-them-a-career-year/ Nice to see he's getting some credit for turning things around - and he's very appreciative of The Bills and the organization.
Mr. WEO Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I don't see any other GM or considering Incognito for this award. He is having a solid year, but he's no comeback player. This should be hands down to Palmer. He's tearing it up in his 12th year after destroying his knee last year. Berry's cancer diagnosis is the only reason to mention him in this category--had he come back from a torn ACL, no one would have even noticed he was back except Chiefs fans. I think Palmer should be at least on par with Newton as a candidate for MVP.

Freddie's Dead Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 This is a bad idea. Richie has kept his nose clean here, good for him. But CPOY on his 7th second-chance? It sends the wrong message.

Luxy312 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I don't see Richie getting it any more than I see AP getting it. Both these guys were out of football, dealing with off the field issues.
3rdand12 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 @billsupdates Bills' Richie Incognito talks about possible Pro Bowl honors and his pending free agency | http://ow.ly/W5H8w These are viable talking points. we can all respect Incognito by now. His play and his leadership have defined him. Pro bowl is the honor he should be considered for. even though Fletcher Cox ate his lunch last week : )

The fact is though that he actually graded out pretty well and they moved Cox around, and he abused the entire OL. I think I read that every holding penalty called vs the OL was when they were vs Cox. Rex said the same - it wasn't his best game but far from as bad as he said it was.

He has been an anchor in the pass and the hammer on the run calls. and when it breaks down. Cox was killing it. did not know it previously, but i wont soon forget the # 71 in green

The guy had Hodgkins, and played slightly more than Palmer did last year.
Max997 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Didnt AP come back from injury? We know about the kid thing. Really a non story. But there was an injury.... wasnt there Beating a kid with a stick is a non story?
Dragonborn10 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Whaley should give Richie a nice fat contract offer for Christmas
26CornerBlitz Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 @WGRZSports Richie Incognito has revived his career with an outstanding, Pro Bowl-worthy season. http://on.wgrz.com/1TXMCX8
