Michael,

I can't disagree with you more with your assertion that Little Kellen should be Comback Player of the Year. What is he coming back from? A stupid accident that was his fault ,or the broken leg a few years back? How can Baby K possibly earn something when he never had an established body of work to begin with? Would it be amiss to award a comback player of the year award to a professional football player based upon their college career, as it seems you are trying to do? Doesn't a Comback Player of the Year award need to go to someone who actually played and had something to comeback to? Nine games this year, and a game and a half as a rookie and this Evel Kenevil is being billed as an amalgam of his dad and Ozzie Newsome. Didn't those two actually play a few seasons before they were inducted into the Hall of Fame? Until this year, hadn't "the Soldier" been paid more than a million dollars per catch he's made in the NFL?

Potentially scary talent, yes. Loudmouth who didn't inherit pop's humble gene, yes. Poster child for having Turtle drive you around, yes. NFL Comeback Player of the Year, absolutely not. A person can't win when they create their own turmoil. Ki-Jana Carter gets more respect for stepping on the field after two ACLs, one in his very first preseason game, than Crash Test Dummy gets going to a Pro Bowl. Besides, it's Kellen Wisnslow Jr. supposed to be catching all these passes? Isn't that what he is getting paid for? Isn't that why he held out for a huge contract? Isn't that why the Browns were so hamstrung by his accident? He's out for a year, yet they have to pay him, and if they cut him, he can walk (figuratively). To me, it seems like The Overrated One is doing his JOB. Hard to imagine for some players in the NFL, but if the check clears they don't vote their team Employer of the Year, they feel they should get more. Yet when they do something stupid (See Brain Bucket Ben), the rely on the Team to bail them out.

Kellen, play the game and hope someday you can live up to the first two-thirds of your name.
