No they dont have to be. Take Pennington, he was named the comeback player of the year, which he had been through lots during his career with injuries and 2 rotator cuff surgeries. 1 rotator cuff injury is enough to send him home with retirement but Pennington came back with 2. Someone for example who has been traded to 3 teams in 4 years and had a rough year before with drugs or something, comes back the next season and earns a trip to the pro bowl and helps out around the nation with kids and stuff... they also could earn comeback player of the year.

No, they don't
This is actually a very interesting question!
Let's assume Pac-Man or Michael Vick are aquitted and then come back to have a monster season. Would they win the award or are they so hated now that it would be impossible?

if a great player was injured and then he came back playing greatly, then that would not be considered comeback player of the year.. someone has to play mediocrely or sub-par one year and then come next year and have a GREAT impact on his team to be considered for the award.. for instance, if joey harrington gets the falcons to the playoffs, he will win that award..
