How does Flacco score 0 points?

1 point for every 50 passing yards? are you serious? talk about deflating the QB position.

john kasay got 5 points for kicking a 52 yard field goal. a quarterback has to throw for over 200 yards to equal that.

if a kicker kicks 3 40 yard field goals he gets 12 points. a QB has to throw for 600 yards to get 12 points.

U must have forgotten to submit him to your lineup.

no, its the scoring that is mess up. he got 1 point for every 50 yards passing (4 for the first 200) then had -2 for a fumble and -2 for an interception.

espn fantasy flacco's exact same performance earned him 6 points.

at yahoo he earned 5.12 points

1 point per 50 is a little out of wack.

oh, and check this out

a WR gets 1 point per 10 yards receiving plus a 1 point bonus for receptions over 40 yards. so if a QB throws a 40 yard pass, the WR gets a total of 5 points for the play and the QB gets ZERO!

if they connect for another 40 yard pass, the WR now has 10 points and the QB has just 1 for the 80 passing yards. (for the first 50 only).

oh, WR's also get .5 points per reception so that's another bonus point for the two catches so he really has 11 points. of course the QB gets no bonus for completions.

man this league is stacked heavy against the QB.

man this league is stacked heavy against the QB.

you just get dumber and dumber with every post...if you checked the scoring from last year (using the same rules), you'd find it was pretty balanced among offensive players (yes, including the QBs).

The points system was tweaked last year to bring balance to the league. The previous year (2008), QBs were worthless. Last year A LOT of tweaking and testing was done to make as evenly as possible, the number of QBs, RBs and WRs in the top 60 (or maybe even 100) in the league.

After 2 weeks, the Top 53 scorers break down as:

QB - 12

RB - 13

WR - 16

There are 5 Tight Ends and 7 Defenses to complete 53. Clearly, QBs aren't getting a fair shake :rolleyes5:

I'd like to see how our scoring system could be tweaked to make it any more balanced.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
