NFL Comeback Player Of The Year: No. 4, Kevin Kolb, Arizona Cardinals

by cdeveau on Sep 1, 2011 3:47 PM MDT

Greetings, Cards faithful. Tonight is the last preseason game, against the Broncos. A time to evaluate positions and determine who makes the 53. And even though the NFL has yet to play a regular season game, Adam Schein is already handing out awards. Why should Arizona Cardinals fans care? Hit the jump to find out.

It's not for offensive player of the year, in which Schein picks Adrian Peterson over Larry Fitzgerald, Philip Rivers and Andre Johnson. It's for comeback player of the year. Enter Kevin Kolb. Schein thinks Kolb is a perfect fit for Arizona. So perfect a fit that he was chosen ahead of Reggie Bush, Bob Sanders, Vincent Jackson, and Plaxico Burress.

Schein feels that Kevin brings with him changes. Accountability. The drive to put up impressive individual numbers. To change the culture in Arizona. In seeing him mesh with the team, I am in agreement. Kevin Kolb is a leader. Through action and word. He puts in the time. He desires to improve on every performance.

And who knows, with the Cardinals offensive general opening eyes and putting W's in the record book, the Cards might change what Schein thinks now, and have Fitz pull down offensive player of the year as well.

Here's to hoping Kolb puts up 3500 yds.+, 25 TD's+, 7 Int's- and 60%+ pass completion percentage. CPOY would definitely be in the cards. Go Cards!

Don't you have to be a household name

before you can be considered a comeback player?

Not necessarily, but you do have to have something to come back from.

Kolb doesn’t really qualify as a come back player to me. A coming out player, yes.

Schein did say in his article

That he was having a bit of an issue defining Kolb as comeback…

Just a guy, because I was born that way.

He also has Whiz as a potential Coach of the Year...

Thats three he sees as potential candidates from our beloved team… Let’s hope Schein is right. As for his picture… I did not expect him to look like that… His voice and face do not match up:) I imagined a much different looking type of guy when listening to Gannon and Schein every morning on my way to work…

Funny

I listen to them all the time too on my sirius…and when I finally saw Adam on a google search, I thought the same thing. Such a dorky looking guy for that big opinionated voice
