It' been a whirlwind season for Michael Vick, and although his run at MVP fell short, he did earn a nice piece of hardware to commemorate his return to greatness Wednesday.
Vick was named the NFL Comeback Player of The Year after leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 10-6 regular season record and a NFC East division crown.
After struggling to get on the field for extended action last year, Vick had arguably his best season as a starting quarterback. For the first time in his career the former Falcons star was more than just a scrambling mad man. He finally demonstrated to the masses that he could be just as effective from the pocket, throwing for 21 touchdowns and racking up just over 3,000 yards through the air.
The trademark speed and quickness made a return as well. Vick showed he could get it done in the run game rushing for 676 yards and eight touchdowns.
The Eagles will have some very tough decisions to make in the offseason. Vick, 30 will be a free agent, and his backup Kevin Kolb is looking to be dealt if he isn't given the opportunity to be the Philadelphia starter. It's a dilemma that most coaches would die for, and certainly a story that will be at the forefront of NFL news in the coming months.
