I believe so. Problem with that is, how many players basically vote on guys they played against? If they haven't played against a QB they don't vote for him because they don't have first hand experience? Or how many vote on flavor of the month? Not many have faced Jimmy GQ but yet they voted for him. He's become a media darling.

I think it's a misleading poll too, as the NFLN advertises it as "voted on by the players". Which, IMO, implies that all the players voted. I have real doubts about all 1,696 current players participating in this fluff.

Okay, curiosity kicked in and I Googled for some answers. Mike Florio did an article on this very subject a few years back. At that time, about 28% of the players participated in the poll:

A lot of folks are going to need their units out of Carson Wentz's rear before Goff hits the big time.

I predict 57.

Seeing Rivers at 56 made me think Goff wouldn't make it. Seeing Keenum at 51 makes me think he will...
