Purely statistically why would be be favored over Burrow?  

Just be real you are voting on the much worse circumstance Cancer vs. ACL 

Colon Cancer has a 91% survival rate if diagnosed at the localized stage

ACL has a 100% survival rating and with the advancements in medicine, it is a pretty common injury to return from at a high level if not the same level you were at pre-injury.

Honestly, coming back from a spinal tumor and being able to play at a competitive level at all is the most impressive feat on the list. And that is what the award was about if I'm reading it correctly. Overcoming an injury or in this case a disease that can actually kill you and returning to the field at a high level. It's why Alex Smith was so impressive, guy almost dies and gets back on the field. 

Burrow's come back is awesome from a fan of the team standpoint, but in the grand scheme of things, it is not nearly as impressive as overcoming cancer and getting back to competition.
