Voting for AP Comeback Player of the Year (5-3-1 scoring): Joe Flacco, Cleveland, 13-26-8=151 Damar Hamlin, Buffalo, 21-7-14=140 Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay, 10-10-13=93
Hamlin had the most first place votes. But I guess you do get a trophy for second place.
How did Lamar Jackson win the MVP over Josh Allen?...Jackson's overall stats do not even have him as a top 5 QB in 2023...Jackson was 15th in passing yards, Allen was 4th, Jackson had 4,499 total yards but Allen had 4,830 and Jackson had only 29 total TD's while Allen had 44 Total TD's.......Allen had a QBR of 69.6...Jackson's QBR was 64.7. Lamar only wins in turnovers, 13 vs Allen's 22. But, again...Allen with 15 more TDs (and 6 more than the TD runner-up Dak.
Both won Division titles, and both went 1-1 in the play-offs, but Allen had 535 total yards with 7 TDs, and zero turnovers...Meanwhile Jackson lost the conference championship at home [badly] and had 5 TDs with 2 turnovers in the play-offs. But If anyone was keeping an objective score with the actual stats, Allen wins the MVP easy.
Or I'm good with Purdy too. Guy's been disrespected.
