not a bad start! especially considering the top 2 are almost a given. After 2 losses Rodgers may see a slight downtick over the next week
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

It's a popularity contest, they say.
That looks pretty accurate as to where voting should be.

Well it still is a popularity contest, it just so happens to be popular you have to be a great player. Sadly someones skill can be overlooked and they aint popular because of it...

Andy Dalton is one of the least popular dudes in the NFL.
I do agree that it's mostly a popularity contest, but sometimes, the voters actually get it right.
I expect to see no less than 6 Bengals in this year, if the votes fall how they should...maybe even seven or eight. Shit, pacman could even make it at two positions.

You won't see any. They'll all be busy with the Super Bowl...

I was surprised that Marvin Jones is not even on the ballot and it is too bad Hewitt is listed at TE instead of FB

I think it's BS they have the Pro Bowl before the SB. The teams with players going to the SB playing in the Pro Bowl puts them at risk for injury. F-that.

Josh Freeman?
Morgan Freeman?
Oh right that guy Devonta Freeman. I can't even think of the last time Atlanta had a really good back. Warrick Dunn I think maybe

The Pro Bowl wasn't that great to begin with now it's even worse. If a team makes it to the Super Bowl they probably have several Pro Bowl players. Since they drop out of the game others are put in as replacements and get credit for making a Pro Bowl. Now that's dumb. I'll stick to the All-Pro honors.

Dalton def needs more recognition for how well he has been playing. He is leading an 8-0 team and has thrown for over 2,000 yards already this season. Every time a team has been undefeated this late in the season, they have made the playoffs, with 57% making it to the SuperBowl! I have confidence in Dalton and know we can continue this trend, which is why he should also be a pro bowl contender! I came across this podcast that compares Dalton to Boomer and the 1988 Superbowl bound bengals, it's a great listen if you are interested and also discusses 8-0 teams! https://realfootballnetwork.com/blog/2015/11/10/11-10-15-week-9-wrap-up/

While I hope Dalton doesn't go to the Pro Bowl, if he does I hope he lights it up. Even I was embarrassed for him last season's pro bowl.

Man, does it feel good to see that. I kept hearing during the off season that due to his contract, the Bengals were stuck with Dalton for at least one more year. It made me so mad people were hanging so much on him despite being in his first year with Hue, and having limited-to-no Green, Jones, Eiftert, and Gresham.
