We've hit our second round, and the field continues to thin. The process just gets harder from here, only the best can continue to move on. We have all-pros everywhere, high quality producers and even a few MVP's as our tournament continues. Both of our tournament finalists from last year are in this division, along with a new number one seed. Which players will continue on to the next round?

 

When you vote, I ask you to throw out potential, this is all about who is the best player right now. Vote for what these players are showing now, and what they have shown in their careers thus far. Topics will close at 8 PM Eastern the day after I make the topic unless that amount of time is less than 24 hours. Otherwise, the polls will just last for 24 hours.

My Votes:

 

Justin Smith / Terrell Suggs

 

Smith has been doing this for years, opening up the defense so the guys around him can make plays. Brooks, Bowman, Aldon Smith and Patrick Willis all benefit from having this guy in the defensive front, completely disrupts any offense and makes it a real challenge for the opposition to get moving. Suggs did have a quality 2011, but Smith did that and more.

 

Carl Nicks / Cameron Wake

 

Just a brutal decision. The best Left Guard in the game or one of if not the best edge rusher in football. I went with Wake because I felt like he was more valuable to his team... if just barely. The decision was almost a coin flip with the way it felt.

 

Aaron Rodgers / Mario Williams

 

The only one I had no difficulty with. Rodgers had one of the best seasons ever from a QB, and it might have been even better if McCarthy didn't make him sit out the last game of the season. Mario Williams has always been a bit overrated for what he has done in his career so far. A good pass rusher, but there are so many better ones. You can't call your self the best player if you aren't the best at what you do.

 

Andre Johnson / Troy Polamalu

 

Another one that was basically a coinflip. Troy was on the ball as always this year, and he was the healthier one of these two. They're both amazing players, but only one of them can continue.
