NFL Week 10 QB Power Rankings: Midseason Most Valuable Player (aka Quarterback) candidates by Will Brinson Last week we mentioned in this space the Panthers were brewing up another MVP-caliber season from Cam Newton. Newton is definitely on the short list. But why bother making it a short list for the MVP award? One quarter of the way into the season we did a full, long list of every starting quarterback in the NFL based on how we would put them in the current MVP standings. Let's do the same at the arbitrary midpoint of the season as well; every team has played eight games now, so we have plenty to work with. So bear in mind the rankings this week are more cumulative based on how people have played over the course of a half season than it is reflective of who is playing well at this very moment. There's always a blend anyway, but this is highly specific about the criteria -- if there's anyone who only played a few games because of injury, they're going to be dinged. If your team looks like it might not make the playoffs at this point, you're gonna get dinged.

Why Ryan Lewis is ready to follow family's NFL footsteps It was going to be the biggest game of Ryan Lewis’ young football career. The only thing was he didn’t know it. As a starting cornerback for Pitt, Lewis was still trying to adapt to playing football in reverse having been a high school running back. But his uncle, Pitt alum, and former NFL cornerback, Tim Lewis, was going to make sure his nephew knew full well the meaning of Pitt versus Penn State. “I remember when coach (Jackie) Sherrill recruited me. He had always made it abundantly clear that the only kids that went to Pitt were the kids that Penn State didn’t want or were not good enough for Penn State,” said Tim Lewis. “I kind of hit him below the belt and reminded him of that. Anything to motivate him. I told him to remind his teammates of that too. I don’t know if it worked, but I let him know that Penn State didn’t think he was good enough.” “I was getting taped up in the training room a couple of hours before the game and he called me and said, ‘I know the coaches have probably given you all the information about what this game means to everyone. But I have to let you know everything,” Ryan recalled. “‘They always used to say the dumb kids go to Pitt and the smart kids go to Penn State. Good football players go to Penn State and lesser players go to Pitt.’ It was good stuff. It gave me some juice.”
