Dalton and Atkins Among Leaders In ProBowl Voting! - BFritz21 - 11-27-2015
Dalton has the THIRD-MOST votes for the Pro Bowl,, only behind Cam and Brady:
Quote:Through 10 games, Dalton has completed 218 of 335 passes (65.1-percent) for 2,738 yards (8.17 yards per attempt) with 20 touchdowns vs five interceptions. Dalton has added two more scores on the ground and currently has a passer rating of 104.0, the third highest of any quarterback. He also has a 71.3 total QBR, the fourth best of any quarterback.
The only other Bengals player in the top two of his position is Geno Atkins, who is the top vote-getting defensive tackle as of today. Atkins has easily been one of the best defensive players in football this season, so seeing him poised to be the top defensive tackle in Pro Bowl voting is a well-deserved honor.
Through 10 games this year, Atkins has seven sacks, 31 total tackles and one forced fumble. He's been a beast in the middle and is a big reason why the Bengals defense is once again among the league leaders in sacks (eighth most of any team).
Other players on our team are also receiving a lot of votes (considering it's us), which is huge and shows that our team is LOADED with too much talent to ignore anymore:

A.J. Green has the seventh most votes among wide receivers, Tyler Eifert has the third most votes among tight ends, Russell Bodine has the ninth most votes among centers, Kevin Zeitler and Clint Boling have the fourth the ninth most votes among guards respectively, Andrew Whitworth has the fifth most votes among tackles, Carlos Dunlap has the fourth most votes among defensive ends, Adam Jones has the ninth most votes among cornerbacks (and eighth most among return specialists), Reggie Nelson has the sixth most votes among free safeties, and Cedric Peerman has the sixth most votes among special teamers.
I feel like our backs as a duo would be in there if they could vote for duos, and that Hill may climb back into the top of the voting if Hue stays true to saying the carries will go back to Hill as a majority, especially with it getting cold in Cincinnati (although it was unusually warn today).
I love that people all across the country are finally giving us love and recognizing that we have talent!

They will not be available to play anyways, but it is a damn shame that Adam Jones is ranked 9th in his position group. He is easily a top 3 player in the NFL.

It is nice that they are receiving some recognition.

Considering the stupid changes they've made to the Pro Bowl (stupidest, IMO, is doing away with the AFC vs NFC format), I honestly don't care about what player make it or not.
It's nice when Bengals players are on the team, but at this point in my fandom, I just want playoff wins and Super Bowl victories.

I agree that it's dumb but it's just the point that we're getting recognition from the fans and people are finally starting to pay attention to us.
