"Tom Brady has gone from record-setting MVP to injured superstar to The Associated Press 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Brady's strong return from a left knee injury that sidelined him for all but the first quarter of the 2008 opener earned the New England Patriots quarterback the award Wednesday. One of football's biggest stars, Brady has gone from NFL Most Valuable Player in 2007, when he set several passing records, to sidelined to earning his second league award.
He received 19 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL, beating Tampa Bay running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, who got 14 (ESPN)."
The only player that I could make an argument for is Vince Young (who finished 3rd), but it would be a much stronger argument if the Titans made the playoffs. Brady is actually having his 2nd best statistical season in his career, and after not play really at all last year it was going to be tough for anyone else to come in and steal this award from him. Hopefully he is healthy and ready for the playoffs, because in the end that's all that matters...
