Cowboy's Ellis wins Comback Player of the year 

Post#1 » by A.J. » Sat Jan 12, 2008 7:34 pm

NEW YORK -- Players entering their 10th season, coming off a major injury and in the midst of a position change rarely make an impact.

But Greg Ellis managed to do so for the Dallas Cowboys at outside linebacker and on Saturday was voted The Associated Press 2007 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Man, he stole this award from Moss, but I can't say he didn't deserve it. I was close voting. Congrats.

^Yes but that had nothing to do with Moss. That was all Oakland's fault. As seen, given a a good O, Moss will produce.

Ellis fully deserved the award.

Isn't it an award for coming back from an injury strong, not coming off a bad year strong?

Moss didn't come back from anything. He cried his way into being traded & decided he liked playing for the Pats.

A debate can always happen with most of the NFL awards. I just feel this was the right decision and I'm very happy for Greg.
