| #1 Posted on 2.1.03 2031.36 Reposted on: 2.1.10 2033.50 | For someone who was playing a year ago in a league that the NFL was ignoring/laughing at, I'd say this was a well deserved honor. Especially considering that many weren't sure he'd play again this year after what happened mid-season.
Brings to mind the fact that there were a number of players who seemed to come out of nowhere to surprise people this season (Maddox, Todd Heap, AJ Feeley, William Green, etc.). If there were a "Priest Holmes Award" (named for the guy who did what I described just last year), who'd get it? Promote this thread! | | calvinh0560

Well, where exactly was he that he had to come back? Most improved player's probably the closest thing I can think of for his story. | Stephanie

But notice...since he's become a NFL success, how many have referred to Maddox as the XFL MVP?

| #7 Posted on 3.1.03 1205.38 Reposted on: 3.1.10 1205.39 | I'd have picked Robert Edwards, too. I mean, HE ALMOST HAD TO HAVE HIS LEG AMPUTATED!!! And he came back to play football.
I think that's bigger than being out of the league, then playing in the XFL. | calvinh0560

Sorry I was answering shockdown's Priest Holmes Award Question not saying he should be comeback player of the year. (Even though when I saw him play last year i thought he was nothing, boy i was wrong with that) | drjayphd

Yeah, I'd probably have to vote for Edwards, personally. But they had two good candidates this year... did Hearst have anyone else to compete with last season? | It's False

I shut off the game at the half, turned it on and saw 33 21 with 5:30 left, turned it off again, and turned it on with 3:00 to go and the crowd in a lather. BRING ON ANYONE AT THIS POINT, CUZ THE STEELERS CANNOT BE STOPPED! | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
