Does Charles Tillman have a chance at Comeback Player of the Year?

[hepcat]

Over the past two seasons, Charles "Peanut" Tillman has played in only 10 games.  He tore his triceps muscle both times. If he plays the whole year and is anywhere close to regaining his previous form, does he have a chance?  There are some solid candidates this year for the award: Eric Berry, Sam Bradford, and Navorro Bowman to name a few.

I think he has a shot.

I think people also need to be prepared that until he shows something he might be more name/coach than player.  The only actual action we have seen from him he appeared to be what the opponent targeted on our D.

If Bradford stays healthy he'll be almost impossible to beat.  He'll put up video game numbers in Chip Kelly's offense.  With that said, he won't stay healthy and Eric Berry will win it.

I'm going into the year expecting Tillman to be replaced by Bene, and average play.  Anything more than that, is an obvious plus. Not to mention solely having him to mentor the young guys (and teach the Peanut Punch) might be more valuable than a year of decent play from him.

I feel like Peterson is going to just go crazy again this year and break the record and get MVP and Comeback Player.

sure he has a chance, but Eric Berry will probably win it.  Go Vols

Hes a Panther now so... No.

If they have any decent alternative candidate, I can't see AP winning it due to the whole PR thing around his child abuse case.  The NFL really doesn't want to rehash that while they hand him a coveted award.

Don't call it a come back...

The NFL wouldn't have a choice, they don't choose the winners. If Peterson breaks the record you couldn't justify not giving him MVP and Comeback Player. Unless another player demolishes some other record(s), but I don't see that happening.

NFL could easily saying coming back from being suspended for a year doesn't qualify you.  It has always been very vague about what "comeback" means.

He looked slow as fug in that first pre season game

Nope. Vick won it after his suspension.
