How does Flacco score 0 points?

he had 248 passing yards.

U must have forgotten to submit him to your lineup.

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.

Lol I didn't know that.

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.

With that scoring it almost makes Vick a must start with his rushing yards

This scoring system was implemented years ago for the Panther homers. :biggrin5:

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.
