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

[RunKC]

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

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.

[stumppy]

How about an update

[Toby Waller]

Lol Incognito is 97

[Toby Waller]

Kelce,91

[RobBlake]

Alex deserves to be on that list if Incognito is.

[jspchief]

15 QBs made the list.

(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.

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.

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

[ThaVirus]

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.

[ThaVirus]

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.

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.
