Brand J Posted January 27 Posted January 27 3 hours ago, Since1981 said: It should be hard to argue the distance he “came back” relative to the distances others came back. From nearly dead on NFL field and back on NFL roster. . He was never a great DB but he came back the most. See Alex Smith He was in fact clinically dead on the field. I’m not sure what his future (career) holds, but I’m happy he’s resumed a completely normal life. 1 Quote

Gugny Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Just now, Billl said: The award itself is stupid, really. It’s a great award, in my opinion. But its intention has never been to give it to a depth player who has literally zero impact in any game throughout the season. Like Hamlin. 2 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I fully expected this award to go to him, but Flacco really deserved it. Quote
Shaw66 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 19 hours ago, BigAl2526 said: Congratulations. To be perfectly honest, he wouldn't be my choice for that award. My thought is that the award is for players who made a comeback that had relevance on the field of play. Hamlin played special teams and had a few reps on defense, but his role could have been filled by any safety who was signed by a team as a fringe member of the roster. I'm glad for him though, not just the award, but for his good health. Yeah, I'm happy for him, but in my opinion you have to have been somewhere to make a comeback to it. He was a backup safety, and he came back to being a backup safety. 1 Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I guess I’m just missing something here? It’s literally in the name—“comeback player” that says to me coming back from…[whatever you choose to insert as the place you wound up], where you might not have ever come back from. Pointing out previous winners can’t account for an on-field event that’s never happened before. How many other clinically deceased players have come back to suit up for their team after a year? I’ll hang up and listen. Quote

There are a lot of teams that could use help at the S position. He's not a starter by any means, but he's good depth and can carve out a role on STs for a lot of squads. Heck, I would bet a substantial amount that if we cut him he's on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster within a week. Yeah because of his relationship with Tomlin, he’s just not a good player Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Just now, julian said: Yeah because of his relationship with Tomlin, he’s just not a good player Trouble is he's IS a "good" player. But that's likely his ceiling. Good. Fans have 2 categories for players. They are either awesome or trash. A roster needs role players and Hamlin is a good role player. I don't think he would ever be a Pro Bowl level talent but he is good enough to be on a roster. Look at it like this. There are 32 teams and I would estimate in total teams average 4 safeties per team. That's 128 players at the position league wide. There aren't 128 safeties better then Hamlin. Quote
Beast Posted January 27 Posted January 27 We’re all behind Damar and always will be. What he went through last January was some scary stuff. I am glad he recovered and is healthy. Life is so much more than just about football and I am happy he deservedly won this award. With saying that it is now time to move on from him as a player for the Buffalo Bills. Quote

I mean I think Damar winning is a bit silly (he did almost die and played in the nfl again which is pretty amazing) but Flacco played in what 5 games and throw a ton of ints. if anyone should have gotten it, it should have been Baker. 3 minutes ago, Beast said: We’re all behind Damar and always will be.

Nephilim17 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Great human story that he came back. But, like many, I don't think he should win this award for riding the pine as a backup. Classy comments from Flacco but I'd rather give it to him for actually helping his team win. Whatever. It's political and it's over. Quote

People down here in Tampa really love what he accomplished. Quote
wppete Posted January 27 Posted January 27 The NFL administration has turned the league into a joke. The product on the field is great but that’s about it. Quote

Gigs Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) I get how people feel about Hamlin over someone like Lamar or Baker..I get it..but has anyone else died during a game and played snaps the next season? He literally came back from the dead and resumed his career. Edited January 27 by Gigs Quote
