NFL Top 100 Players of 2016 starts tonight. Which Chiefs make it?
 

100-91 starts at 7pm Arrowhead time. I love this show, every year it's one of my favorites. Really gives a good insight to player opinions around the league. With all that said, who do you see making the list for us this year? Last year, we had Jamaal Charles (12), Justin Houston (27, criminally low after 22 sack season), Jeremy Maclin (61, after signing), and Tamba Hali (70).

I'll predict that this year making the player's list will be....

Charles (he'll make it, trust me)
Maclin
Kelce
Houston
Hali
DJ
Peters
Berry

That's 8 for me, which would likely be tied for the most or 2nd most in the league amongst teams...

Thus far:

Justin Houston:http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...Justin-Houston

Eric Berry: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...-55-Eric-Berry

Marcus Peters: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...-Marcus-Peters

Jamaal Charles: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...Jamaal-Charles

Derrick Johnson: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...errick-Johnson

Alex Smith: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...-81-Alex-Smith

Tamba Hali: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...-84-Tamba-Hali

Travis Kelce: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...1-Travis-Kelce

Jeremy Maclin: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100...-Jeremy-Maclin

Charles (doesnt make it)
Maclin - # 54
Kelce - #81
Houston - #75
Hali - (doesnt make it)
DJ - #92
Peters - # 32
Berry - #15
Poe - #21

I'll be shocked if Charles falls off the list.

I get the injury for being the reason, but players keep injured guys on the list every year. To drop from #12 to completely off seems far fetched..

Also, Poe has never made the list at all so, if he does, you're probably looking at the 100-91 range.

Charles - 25
DJ - 84
Tamba - 88
Berry 76

Houston, Peters, and Poe might slip onto the list. But Houston's injury will hurt him, Peters is young, and Poe is underrated.

I can confirm Kelce makes the list, as he was on the TV ad for it the other day.

Jeremy Maclin is the first Chief to make the list at #93.

I thought Maclin would probably be in the 90s.

Maclin
Poe
Berry
DJ
Houston
Peters
Kelce
Hali

Kelce is gonna be 91.

Yep, Kelce is #91.

Think we have a good shot to get 8 guys.

Seems a bit early for Peters to make the list, imo.

I'll go with

Maclin (100% sure he'll make the list)
Charles
Houston
Berry
Kelce
Alex Smith

:eek:

Hate to nit pick here because nothing can change it, but damn I wish Kelce was younger. Considering he's only got two full seasons in, and turning 27 in October, seems crazy.

He probably won't make it bc of a lack of popularity, but Jaye Howard deserves to be on the list

How about an update

At least he's a TE and not a RB. That position has a much longer lifespan in the NFL. Look at how many seasons guys like Gonzo, Gates and Witten played at a high level.

Lol Incognito is 97

Kelce,91

I read on NFL.com saying that Peters was making the list so I guess will see if he makes it.

Alex deserves to be on that list if Incognito is.

15 QBs made the list.

There aren't many people who think Andrew Luck is as overrated as I do, but if you've got 15 QBs on the list, he should be ahead of at least 7 or 8 of them.

And if Alex were to make it, he should have gone somewhere between 90-100.

Positional value be damned, he's not better at his job than Maclin or Kelce are at theirs.

(Sigh.)

So half of the quarterbacks in the league are better than 90+% of starters at other positions?

In fairness, I guess this is possible if the best athletes become quarterbacks at an early age and stay at the position through high school, college, and the pros. It's just hard for me to believe that an average quarterback is in the top 14 percent of players leaguewide.

Alex smith was better at his job than Andrew luck was last year- potential be damned

Peyton Manning made the list and he didn't even play the year he made it. I think it's just a bunch of BS that's made up and to kill time until training camp come up.

Well the list is obviously based a bit off of 2015 production, but it's actually a ranking of the top 100 players for the upcoming season.

Since Luck is younger and had more success in the past, he's got far more potential than Smith.

how much more success has he had tho? Incognito is on the list but alex isn't? Alex is a consistent producer.. should certainly be on the list over a guy like that.. not saying luck shouldn'tb e higher even though i think he's highly overrated.

LMAO

Come on, bro.

:)ROFL
too much?

You're channeling your inner Sandy. Reel yourself in before I'm forced to pimp slap you.

If Alex Smith was on last year's list,he'll be on this one

this black on black crime needs to stop!

and one must never go sandy.

For real?

The Colts rush offense and defense was ~20th in the league from 2012-2014, outside of 2013 for the defense.

Meanwhile Luck lead the best passing offense in the league in 2014 while throwing 40 TDs and their 3rd straight playoff appearance.

Luck is the Colts.

i shouldn't drink and talk about alex, i sipppose.

http://ell.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/01/...ggifs_01_1.gif

I don't think he's ever made this list

Ya, I'll be interested to see who all these QBs are.

1) Brady
2) Rodgers
3) Wilson
4) Brees
5) Roethlisberger
6) Luck
7) Newton
8) Rivers
9) E. Manning
10) Ryan
11) Romo

And now I'm drawing blanks. Palmer, Dalton, ummm..... Flacco and Stafford????? The last 2 are tough. Seems a bit early for guys like Carr.

15 QBs with Carr and Luck already making it?

Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Wilson, Romo, Palmer, Newton, Dalton, Bortles. Those are all locks.

Leaves 2 more spots open. I'd say those spots will go toooooooo.. Stafford and Alex Smiff.

It's too soon for Luck but not for Bortles? Lolwut?

Lol Romo and Bortles aren't on it

Wasn't Romo in the 30's last year? If you dont think he's on the list somewhere you are delusional.

Luck was injured much of the season. You have to incorporate recency bias.

This isn't a best of 2015 list.

Both will be on it.

I'm confused. What the **** are you arguing?

Is the list already visible?
If not,Romo is no where near the list

Let me revise this. Drop Alex Smiff and replace him with Eli Manning. Bigger media market. They love choking on Manning cock.

Ok. Kill yourself.

This list is a best of 2016 NFL players before the season even starts. 1 injury year isn't going to drop Luck from #7 to off the list entirely.

Ummmm.. Ok?

Luck is already ON the list- we know that. And not more than a couple hours ago I argued that, despite a down season, Luck should be ranked higher than all but maybe 7-8 QBs at the most.

Then I misread your initial post because I wasn't thinking Carr would be on the list after 1 good season.

If Carr and Luck are the first QBs to be named to the list then there's no ****ing chance Smith can be on this list.

I haven't actually watched the show but saw something about it on social media. Carr was ranked #100 and Luck #92, IIRC. People are also saying 15 QBs made the list.

So I was just trying to fill in the blanks. Bortles will be on it for sure. So will Romo. Do you disagree?

I have to agree, but that last spot is giving me a lot of trouble. Guys like Eli, Flacco, Cutler and Ryan will probably be front runners but who gets it out of them?

I would put my money on Cousins over Bortles at this point. Cousins completed 69.8% of his passes last season with a 101 rating and he has more name recognition at this point.

Cousins! I had forgotten about him. Yeah, he could definitely get the nod with his age. He's got potential.

I'm still sticking to my Bortles guns though. I think he'll make it.

How the **** is it a list of who they think will be good?
No,it's a list of who they thought was good last year.
That's why Luck us at the bottom for hardly playing.
But he played more than Romo.
Ultimately, the llist is a pointless waste of time
But I'll easily gamble Romo ain't on it and Alex Smith is.

Bortles threw 35 TDs last season and that Jaguars offense is on the come up.

You know how I know you are stupid? When you think someone who started 7 games and wasn't particularly good last season is on the list because of what he did in 2015 only.

Lol the Jaguars aren't going anywhere.
His stats are meaningless until they have any amount of post season success and they never will.
If he ends up on the list,it's so dumb ass Jag fans have their false hope fueled.

I explained how that happened.

"You know how I know you're stupid "....?
Only unoriginal, childish,dumb ass,Internet losers use that tired
Excuse for an insult.

I already explained how unimportant and useless a top 100 list is
but I'll still be right.
Get on my level! !!!!!

You explained what, dipshit? That he played more than Romo? Explain how he's 8 spots higher than Carr who started 16 games, dumbass.

You make a lot of claims as if you've got a crystal ball somewhere

When have the Jags been successful since they caught all the rainbows in expansion?
You don't need a crystal ball. You just need to know who the bit players are and the main characters.
The Colts will always own the afc south.
The titans,Jags and Texans will always get nothing more than the occasional reward bisquit losing in the first or second round if they ever make the playoffs.

Mariota or Winston? I don't know what the criteria is, but if hype for 2016 is part of it maybe they make it? I don't know hard to make a case for 13 more QBs ranked higher than Luck.

I would go with:

Aaron Rodgers
Rom Brady
Ben Rapethisburger
Andy Dalton
Kirk Cousins
Matt Ryan
Matt Rivers
Cam Newton
Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
Drew Brees
Carson Palmer
Russell Wilson

Peyton Manning is retired. If he's on the list of best players in the NFL going into 2016 then you might as well just scrap this entire thing.

If Blake Bortles stats are meaningless because he has no post season success than Jamaal Charles stats are also meaningless because he also has no post season success.

Especially since he was the worst quarterback in the league last year. Who still "won" a Super Bowl as a going away gift from the league. (Though technically isn't this supposed to be the list of the best players last year, so retirement shouldn't count?) Either way, I'd be surprised if he's not on it because of his TV commercials.

Goodell really showed his hand last year. There's a reason why he got booed every time he walked on stage at the draft.

Two more Chiefs are set to make the list tonight from 90-81. Who ya got?

My money is on Hali and DJ.

I think Peters, Berry, Charles and Houston will be a little higher.

There's Tamba. 84.

Alex Smith is #81

Well deserved.

Smitty. He's better than a lot of people perceive him to be and is deserving of being on this list.

Now's the chance to trade him while his value appears to be at its peak!

Sure if you're happy to go back to 5 win seasons you loser. ROFL

Because the teams success is based on the passing game. ROFL

1 of 13 players in the top 100 all 6 years of the show.


And some of yall wanted to scrap him up to FOUR years ago??

WUT?

You must masturbate to an Alex Smith fathead every night.

That's not how you spell Chandler Jones.
