Chad Pennington and Mark Bulger have both comeback from major injuries to put themselves in the running for Comeback Player of the Year. So what the verdict? Who's having the better year? Who, when healthy, is the better QB?
Pennington is in the lead right now considering he is playing better and played in 5 fewer games than Bulger did in 2005. An hour ago I was reading a comeback player of the year thread from a few months back. I almost bumped it. edit: Here is that thread. Check it out. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=8281&highlight=comeback+player
Pennington is by far better. Bulger makes more mistakes and has a much better supporting cast, and this year, St. Louis cannot score touchdowns.
Pennington came back form a much worse injury and so I give the award to him. Everyone writing him off helps as well.
They were talking about this on espn , and they thought that Palmer was the leader. I don't get that , yes Palmers leg got pretty screwed , and yes he does have to stand on rolleyes , but to have your throwing shoulder not once but twice get mashed and throw the way Chads being doing is the stuff of hollywood.

I remember Marc Bulger's career at WVU. (I live on the WV/OH border, so I watch alot of WVU and Marshall games.) All my WVU fan friends were talking friendly smack about who would have the longer career in the league. . . So far it looks pretty tortured for both. I'd still go with Pennington for comeback.
Well, what constitutes comeback player of the year though? The severity of the injury, or the ranking of the team? Or how quick they come back? Cause a case can also be made for drew brees, whos coming off with the same injurie as chad, just one fewer, and in a shorter amount of time. AND he got dissed by the chargers for P. rivers, then went to the shittiest team outside of detroit, and has them standing at 3-1. I'm just happy I don't have top mention culpepper yet.
Exactly. That's what I wrote in the thread I linked to in my earlier post in this particular thread. How some dolt on ESPN said Palmer was in the running for comeback player of the year is beyond me.
Well that was the only reason I brought up brees, because he's in the same boat as Palmer. Man I'm just so happy that culpper sucks that much, or without randy he sucks that much.
On top of that, he is throwing to the best reciever in the league (in many people's eyes), has an outstanding #2 guy in Houshmanzadeh, who could very well be a #1 on several teams, and has a very very solid running attack. Penny on the other hand is throwing to Coles, who alot of people had written off as a #1 threat, Cotchery who most people around the league didn't even know existed and is pretty much a rookie (as far as starting is concerned), and a mish-mosh of scrub running backs.

yea this is not even close. It's pennington. His injury was worse and it happened twice and he's playing better with less talent around him. No question, it's pennington
