Ellis is AP Comeback Player of the Year
Here's the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/s...
I'm happy for Greg Ellis. He did bother me with his complaining over the past two offseasons, but in both instances I could at least see where he was coming from. I didn't agree the method he chose, but it seems to be modus operandi for most unhappy players in today's NFL.
I think that if you told Jerry what he would get from Ellis right before he drafted him, he would have been satisfied with it. Maybe not happy, but definetly satisfied. And to drag up an old argument again, I still don't know if you would be happy if you had Moss. For two reasons: 1. Would he have worked as hard without the chip on the shoulder that he got from being drafted below where he thought he should be? 2. Would he be racking up those huge numbers on your team, or for someone else? The Raiders got very little from him, the Vikings got historically good numbers and mediocre numbers frm him, and the Pats seem to have done well with it. But who knows how it would have played out in Dallas?
Anyways, sorry to bury the lead. Congrats Ellis. And thanks Jerry for keeping him happy...

no player is more deserving of this award
than Ellis, a true warrior and competitor.
I had all the faith in the world he'd make it back from his injury and play well this season. Only a pro bowl selection would have made it better, but hopefully he can subsitute that for a SB ring.

Well deserved
I thought I was in the minority thinking he should win this one. All of sports radio said that it had to go to Randy Moss. I had to get on the radio to defend Mr. Ellis. :D

Great Cowboy and Great Player
I still don't understand why people wanted Spencer to start over Ellis.
