Well-earned by Joe Flacco

[@Living4JC]

Flacco is a great guy . He saved the Browns season and took them to the playoffs, well deserved award

[@Reekdgaf]

Still love in Baltimore Joe I definitely see you going in the ring of honor when u retire

[@LuisRayLewis]

Happy for Joe and Baker, both balled

[@ce6ej]

Go wytes!!!

[@LuisRayLewis]

Lol ok bro 😂

[@steventomasi5557]

I'm honestly happy they didn't turn it into a charity award and give it to Damar Hamlin

[@robertpalatsky5017]

So much respect for Damar, but honestly, dude had two toale tackles in two games this year.

[@fleetwoodsac]

Like they did with Lamar? Lol

[@mortystraphouse5077]

hamlin almost died in a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TruthLC]

@@fleetwoodsac That’s why he was the heavy favourite right 😂

[@fleetwoodsac]

@Legend-qm1mu yeah with those weak numbers

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

I''m so happy that Joe Flacco won this award. I was his fan when he was our MVP QB with the Ravens and I hope he's not done yet! He thanks his wife for holding down the fort. Once you're done in Cleveland, please come home to Baltimore and retire a Raven!

[@cyberhawk99]

CongratZZZZZZZZZ JOE!!!!!!! Proud of ya man! ~Cleveland

[@Saxxin1]

Joe Flacco earned it. He saved the browns season and got them into the playoffs. Glad to see the man finally getting some respect from the league.

[@Saxxin1]

@elbob17 Joe Flacco never retired. What bubble would that be? Cleveland finally learned about him? They were dominated by the guy for years when he played for the ravens. Do you have down syndrome or just choose to present yourself as a clueless moron that doesn't know WTF they are talking about?

[@markbussey6152]

Congratulations Joe Cleveland loves you. Thank you 👍

[@markbussey6152]

@elbob17 can't blame him newsome and ward were pathetic 😡

[@stephenfricke9298]

Happy for JOE. WELL DESERVED

[@texdoc89]

As happy as I am for Hamlin to be able to play again... dude played like 20 snaps all seasson long. There is no way he should have received the award unlike those in years past who had horrific health issues and got back to a elite level. Other than Old man Joe the only other person I think should have won the award is Baker. Say what you will about him off the field but I'm happy for him making the most out of his shot in Tampa and I'm not even a fan of the dude, just a fan of football.

[@RickC-sc5ki]

Baker over Stafford or Tua??? They're the only 2 that even belong on the list!!

[@Kamel-d7o]

Baker was almost out the league. Yes Stafford had a good comeback. Yes Tua had a good comeback, but none of them are close to Bakers.

[@C-Land_Browns]

Congratulations Joe!!!!

[@bk7064]

As a Browns fan, this was undoubtedly Baker's award! Nobody has gotten so much unnecessary hate. Dude was scrapped on the worst team in the league, played in countless offensive schemes, went through city after city and came back to bring his team to the Divisional round and shined in the pro bowl!

[@Berlography]

Imagine if Browns still had Bake and didn't give up all that draft capital

[@bk7064]

@@Berlography Either way I don't know if it would've worked. When I saw Baker play against the Chiefs week 1 of his last year with the Browns, I knew that was the guy I wanted. However it seems the Browns didn't. Add that to the fact that there was an unnecessary civil war among Cleveland fans regarding Baker, so many here wanted him to fail. I felt bad for him but I'm really happy it seems he's doing well!

[@Berlography]

Me too. I think more ppl wanted Bake here than gone tho. He was the ideal scapegoat

[@bk7064]

@@Berlography That's exactly right. Browns fans were so used to blaming somebody because we forgot what it took to be successful, which is years of building. When fans didn't realize that, they picked Baker as public enemy number one.

[@Berlography]

@@bk7064 I'm always hopeful but I honestly don't think Watson is the savior..

Lot of good stories this season- Baker in Tampa, Stafford in LA, etc… but nothing tops Flacco’s story. It’s just TOO GOOD to overlook.

[@brianbritton1385]

well deserved!

[@AR18123]

Unpopular opinion, but Joe Flacco deserved ever but of this award

[@nickster1135]

Atleast they didnt give it to someone who played 5 plays

[@joshjohnson2753]

Yeah people were trying to make it seem like he and Alex Smith were in the same situation, but Smith started 5 games and went 4-1, he actually had an impact on the game lol. Hamlin was just on the field for pr reasons, that fake punt against the chiefs was wild

[@gettinrobbed]

A guy literally died on the field and came back the next season to play...i think that deserves it more

[@mouadalr6924]

Stafford literally went from "is he gonna retire?" To carrying his team to the playoffs.

[@danielcerezo5684]

Stafford coming back from an injury last year. . Bringing back the rams to the playoffs when they had losing record half season .. Stafford deserve it

[@huchlvr]

I think Baker deserved it more. He was written off and he's played for FIVE offensive schemes in two years. Not to mention he had to follow in Brady's footsteps.

[@ce6ej]

Both Stafford AND Baker would’ve been favorites to win any other year, but what Flacco achieved cannot be beaten out. It’s just the PERFECT story for comeback player of the year.

[@PaulieWalnuts746]

Well deserved. So glad they didn’t give the award to Damar Hamlin. He went through a horrible ordeal, but he only played a handful of snaps and made a few tackles all season. Giving Hamlin the award would’ve been charity.

[@clintpot8521]

Short, sweet, humble, and no political advertisements. Nice speech.

[@misocriallo4379]

A Cleveland Brown that actually DESERVES the award he won...

[@UnderPressureGoat]

Purdy blew out his UCL (in his throwing arm) last year in the NFCC game. Then, he took his team (this year) all the way to the #1 seed in the NFC. How is that not in the conversation? Blows my mind. 🤯

[@UnderPressureGoat]

Obviously, I'm only talking about the regular season. BP is in the Super Bowl and is obviously the better player, and I could care less about the accolades.

[@Marvell3000]

Weren't the 49ers in the NFC championship game last year.

[@seximexi5820]

And?

[@christophermanley3602]

He didn’t “come back” from anything. He was elite last year and elite this year. And this is coming from an Eagles fan

[@RickC-sc5ki]

How many games did that cost him?? He didn't comeback from anything.

[@olenyoder6523]

[@georgeb6079]

Wasn't sure who i wanted to win if ravens and Cleveland played

[@justafriend4304]

He's a class act, not some QB's.

[@keith2570]

I think Baker Mayfield was more deserving. He revitalized a career not just the year. He goes from having one foot out the NFL door to starting with a new team, then winning the division, going to and winning in the playoffs.

[@juicesnap]

He came back from being on the jets for 3 Seasons 2020-2023?! Is being on the jets a disease/injury that players have to recover from?

[@ce6ej]

It’s the fact that he wasn’t even on a roster at all until late in the season, then comes in and leads a team to the playoffs. It’s not really that difficult to understand..

[@juicesnap]

@@ce6ej I get that .I'm happy for Flacco. I'm just a pretty sour sarcastic Jets fan [I was trying to be funny but probably did not come across clearly.. oops ] jets are a curse to QBs [ Darnold, Smith, Flacco (and probably soon Wilson) have all played better after leaving the jets Org.]...

Obviously you're a fan of one of the other nominees. If you thought it should have been Baker I might agree.

@@budmcnew7763 you know what I'm a football fan and the guy who wanted only played six games or five games or whatever you play but he did not play in the entire season while the other players work their butts off to improve their game to become better players and came back from the season before and all their problems.

Damar might have died and yes that’s sad but he was fucking trash

[@brennanboston]

Damar didnt play worth shit this season. It’d be one thing if he came back and actually played and played good, but he didn’t do either. Played 5 games with 2 tackles, but oh he almost died last year so even though he pretty much didn’t play this year he should just be handed the award. Joe Flacco lucky his ass got that award too. Comes off the couch half way through the season and gets to playoffs, just to lose in wildcard. Pathetic af. People biased af towards both joe and damar. Baker the real Comeback player. Played absolutely terrible last year and mediocre the year before. Was written off and was 4-7 in middle of season to come back and make it all the way to divisional only losing by 8 in Detroit as the underdog. Had Career high year in his first year with new team. If anyone got robbed it was Baker Mayfield because of biased mf like you who just want certain people to win

[@Roller_Coaster07]

Damar Hamilton isn’t a good football player. He came back to play a punt return for the Cinderella story. Joe Flacco cam out of retirement and sent a struggling organization to the post season

[@bnegs521]

Clown boi

[@huchlvr]

So? Many people have almost died in their fields and come back to do their job. But he played like TWO games and barely in those. It's not a pity award. It's being able to comeback and PLAY at a HIGH LEVEL. Did Damar do that? But Baker did.

You or I probably could have done the same, with that defense picking up the slack. 🤣😂🤣😂 Stafford and Tua were the only finalists that actually belonged on the list, at all, imo. One's lucky he can still walk, the other's lucky he remembers his name and they both took their teams to the playoffs. I understand and agree with your point on Hamlin, but I also understand WHY he was a finalist...politics aside!!

Makes no sense to give it to Flacco. Absolutely none.
