Honestly I think they could all be "in the discussion" other than maybe Iloka, who I think is slightly overrated by Bengals fans.
I voted for Geno, AJ, Dalton and Dunlap. In that order. Geno and AJ should be locks. Dalton - after posting a 106.2 rating - should make it (heck, Kaep and Flacco have made this list before). Dunlap really broke through last season and deserves props for being one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

5, Geno, AJ, Dalton, Burfict, Eifert.
Whit should but probably won't as he's been consistently underrated his whole career. Dunlap falls just short. Burfict should but wouldn't be shocked to see his reputation keep him off for some reason.

I went with Geno, AJ, Andy, Dunlap, Eifert. I left Tez off only because of the bias against him.

It will only be Atkins and Green.
Eifert, Burfict, Dalton and Dunlap all deserve to be on this list but they won't be which is sad.

Nelson should be on it for the year he had, but he won't.
And an argument can be made for all, but I'll say the ones who actually get on are Atkins, Green, and Whit.

Unfortunately, Nelson is no longer with the Bengals, so he can't be on the Bengals' list. If he is voted in, he'll show up with his new team.

Biggest surprises so far are that Burfict gets so few votes when the defense is noticeably better with him in the lineup. While the Steelers may hate him with a passion, I believe most players respect his football play.
The second biggest surprised is that Dalton's only getting 60% of the votes. I assumed he'd get higher, particularly from Bengals fans. Heck, Alex Smith made the list.

I voted for 6 guys, but there is NO WAY NFLN lets that happen. I say Dalton gets snubbed which will be somewhat hilarious.

If it was up to us 6 or 7 of these guys would be on "the list", but I think people are voting off of their expectations of who will actually be on it.

It's not up to NFLN. It's up to how the players voted.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Before the countdown started, I thought Atkins, Green, and Eifert would make the list. After 100-91, I'll be ticked if Dalton doesn't make the list over Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins.

Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised and we see 5 guys make the list.

Didn't the players vote Tebow in one year?

Yep, after the 2011 season.
I refuse to believe that Kirk Cousins is on the top 100 and not Dalton. I am getting a little worried though.

Honestly I'm not sweating it or even following along. I fully expect Dalton to not be on the list though. Many of these players are surprisingly ignorant of the rest of the league and only know what they've heard. Much of what they hear surely comes from the media.
That's why you see guys like Tebow, Kaep and Flacco make it, yet guys like Dalton and Whit get ignored.
