What signifies having a comeback? Favre was decent last year.

Would have to be Moss. He disappeared from football greatness while in Oakland and New England basically stole him in the off season. He was labled a loser and washed up, and a team killer with his attitude, but this season(until last week)he's been trouble free, and playing at his highest level. Granted, the system he's in hasn't hurt, but he's still an incredible athlete.

Compared to this year, Favre's season last season was average at best.

Yeah, but Brady wasn't coming off of a couple very disappointing seasons in a row.

I disagree. I didn't see him in the SB the past couple years...

I am talking statistically here. It seemed like Favre was throwing interceptions every 5 dropbacks the past couple of seasons.

Maybe it's the receivers. Both finally have a couple and now they can throw again.

But can he really be classified as athlete?
I'll give him the trophy for comeback flannel of the year, no doubt.

Has to be Moss. He went from having the worth of a 4th round draft pick to having the best statistical receiving season ever.

Frank Thomas? That was so '06. I think he acutally won Comeback Player of the Year in '06. His '07 year he got a fat contract for the Blue Jays and didn't do nearly as well as he did when he was when the A's plucked him out of the bargain bin. (Billy Beane = genius for the record)
I don't know if it would work to be able to "Comeback" two years in a row.

moss could be it . but he plays when he wants to play. oakland was awful he was hurt sometimes but he really did nothing. and dominated the league with new england. maybe the quarter back has something to do with having good wide receivers?

Good call.
That guy made Britney Spears look like the pillar of stability.

Exactly - and in order to make a comeback he had to resign the game of life. Maybe he reincarnated into one of Britney's personalities to continue the comeback ----------now I'm just being stupid (and then the shots rang out)

I was debating between choosing Favre and choosing Moss. They both broke many NFL records this year, but in the end I chose....
...EM OH ESS ESS
P.S. Osgood blows!

I don't like MOSS but he saved my ass in fanasty football this year.
