                                                                                                      Now class If I were to tell you that there were 2 true candidates for COPY? You would probably say year there are a couple. But I will tell you this season with all the story lines and injury “situations” there are 2 players that deserve this award this year. I am going to tell you who they are and then give you a couple of reasons why they should win the award. These two athletes are superstar Broncos QB Payton Manning and dynamic Vikings RB Adrian Peterson both have recovered form injuries that would have put normal men on the shelf. Possibly they are both super-humans capable of achieving things we can only dream of. But until that is proven they are just men capable of more than most…

(A.Peterson – RB – 314att, 1898yrds, 11TD’s, 39rec, 215yrds, 0TD’s): This running back tore the 2 major ligaments in his knee around this time last season. And after that happened most of America thought that his career was pretty much over. If not over then he would never be back to his old form. Not the same running back ever again. Not only did he come back within 8 mos and was ready for training camp. But as we began to watch preseason games, we began to see that not only was he back but he was better than before. And as this season has progressed it has been shown more and more. He is less than 250 yards from breaking Erick Dickerson’s single season record for rushing yards. If that’s not a comeback then I don’t know what is??...
(P.Manning – QB – 103.7 QBR, 4335yrds, 34TD’s, 11INT’s): Payton on the other hand was written off by a lot of people after taking last season off. Some people thought that he may never come back to playing football again. I wondered myself aloud if it was even in Payton’s interest or even his best health decision to come back and play after 4 neck surgery’s. But here is the one thing I am not surprised by with Mr.Manning  is the numbers he is putting up this season. I did always know that if Payton cam back he would be able to put up excellent numbers as long as he went to a team that had a O-line that could protect him. And he did!! The Broncos are going be to in the AFC Championship game and that is solely because of Manning but I will say that this is one heck of a comeback in its own right…
