Every week in this space, Chris We seling will roll out the power rankings for one specific NFL position, attribute or award.With the byes wrapping up last week, all 32 teams have played exactly 10 games. As we turn our attention to the six-game stretch run, it's time to start thinking about the NFL Honors and the regular-season awards.Let's kick it off with the Most Valuable Player watch:1. , quarterback: Excluding last year's meaningle s regular-season finale, the have won 23 of Brady's last 24 starts -- an astounding level of sustained dominance. Brady stated earlier this season that he's a better quarterback now than he was five years ago. That's not hyperbole. A slimmer Brady is more nimble in the pocket and has lost nothing from his fastball. He puts on a weekly quarterbacking clinic, showcasing rare field vision, proce sing information at rapid speed and attacking the right players on the right down and distance.At age 38, Joe Montana was playing out his final season, wrapping up a magnificent career which featured double-digit victories in six different seasons. At age 38, Brady is the best player in the game, already notching his 13th season of double-digit victories while di secting opponents and battling on the rest of the ' offense. He's the .2. , quarterback: Palmer leads the NFL in touchdown pa ses (27), pa ser rating (108.6), first-down percentage (43.4) and pa ses over 20 yards Jim Jarvis Jersey (46). If he to ses three more touchdown pa ses versus San Francisco in Week 12, he will equal Kurt Warner's single-season franchise record -- with five games to spare. After just 10 games, Palmer's league-leading offense has the ' record with seven games of 30+ points. A "" to Arizona, per general manager Steve Keim, Palmer is the MVP of the best team any of us has ever seen.3. , quarterback: The September and October MVP buzz surrounding Newton seemed ill conceived. He wasn't pa sing particularly well and needed to come through with spectacular plays to win close games. He has raised his game to another level of late, though, completing his first 11 pa ses versus the and throwing five touchdowns in the first 32 minutes of last week's blowout victory over the . Newton not only boasts a 15:0 TD-to-INT ratio in the red zone, he's also the most effective short-yardage weapon in football."The ," coach Ron Rivera told The MMQB early this month, "has been as much the evolution of Cam."4. , quarterback: If one was to track jaw-dropping throws this season, the bulk of them would be attributed to three quarterbacks: Rodgers, Palmer and . Of that trio, Rodgers would be responsible for twice as many as the other two. For the first quarter of the 2015 season, Rodgers , playing quarterback at a higher level than I have ever seen: unparalleled arm talent, uncanny scrambling, coach-like pre- and post-snap recognition and an unshakeable confidence allowing him to envision po sibilities and interrogate the limits of the game.As talented as Rodgers is, he couldn't overcome the NFL's , 's midseason vanishing act and his own bad habit of throwing without setting his feet during a three-game losing streak. If the offense gets back in synch following the promising Week 11 performance in Minnesota, Rodgers can still give Brady a run for the top spot.5. , wide receiver: The best route runner on the planet, Brown is second only to in receptions and receiving yards despite failing to reach 50 yards in three consecutive games with sidelined. His 26-game stretch since the beginning of the 2014 season (208 receptions, 2,839 yards and 18 touchdowns in 26 games) is Jerry Rice-like in dominance and ruthle s efficiency. Brown and freakishly athletic are easily the in the league right now.6. , tight end: is the lone NFL tight end within 175 yards of 's 843 through 10 games, a phenomenal fact considering Gronk draws consistent double teams in addition to getting jammed by defensive ends and linebackers at the line of scrimmage. As long as Brady and Gronkowski are healthy, the keep winning despite the lo ses of their top two offensive linemen, their best running back and their best wide receiver. Already the the NFL has ever seen, Gronkowski is simply for any one defender to handle.7. , quarterback: The Dalton skeptic is becoming an endangered species. The beleaguered quarterback has taken full advantage of his surrounding talent, showing his mettle with dramatic comeback victories versus the and en route to the first 8-0 start in AFC North/Central history. After the upset lo s to the , it seemed natural for the doubts to resurface considering Dalton's miscues, 's late-game drops and the quarterback's to 's .When dropped a perfectly thrown Dalton bomb with the down 10 points in the fourth quarter last week, one member of the Podcast stated matter-of-factly: "These guys just aren't ready." Dalton promptly directed a pair of late-game scoring drives against the on the road to tie the game. It was a valiant effort in a tough lo s, earning trust and newfound respect for a quarterback with a reputation for coming up short when it matters most.8. , quarterback: As impre sive as any pa ser when he's played season, Roethlisberger would be in the top five had he not mi sed nearly half of Pittsburgh's games. Incredibly accurate downfield, he leads the NFL in pa ses of 40+ yards. Brady has uncorked nine such throws on 198 more attempts. Two years ago, the asked Roethlisberger to reign in his swashbuckling playing style similar to those of and . Mi sion accomplished.9. , cornerback: Step aside and . Norman has emerged as the NFL's stingiest lockdown corner, stifling the game's top receivers while also defending the run and coming through with clutch plays. Norman boasts the cover skills to lead all cornerbacks in opposing pa ser rating (38.7, per Pro Football Focus) while also exhibiting insane acrobatics on a versus the and a to prevent a game-winning touchdown in the overtime thriller with the .10. , wide receiver: This spot could easily go to NFL sack leader , who has been more productive through 10 games than he was in last year's Defensive Player of the Year campaign. Hopkins deserves credit, though, for emerging as a consistent top-flight receiver, almost single-handedly keeping the offense afloat on a first-place team. He's on pace for 122 receptions, 1,672 yards and 14 touchdowns with , and as his quarterbacks. Hopkins was a he that Revis Island still exists.Honorable mention:, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Not an MVP candidate: Nick Saban Jersey
