The Facts:
Flacco is coming off his most inconsistent season if you care about stats like completion percentage, yards per attempt and QB rating. Ron Jaworski is not a stats guy. The game film tells him that Flacco is a top-10 quarterback with the strongest arm in the league. "That's Flacco's No. 1 attribute," said Jaworski, an ESPN analyst. "He has the strongest arm in the NFL."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jaworski ranked the Ravens signal caller overall ahead of quarterbacks like Tony Romo, Matthew Stafford, Michael Vick, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan. And it's not just the arm. "The element always overlooked by those who minimize arm strength is the willingness of quarterbacks like Flacco to pull the trigger," Jaworski explained. "Few recognize that because there is no quantifiable means by which to evaluate throws that are not made by QBs with lesser arm strength. Flacco gives you the ability to attack all areas of the field at any point in the game. ..." Anybody else thinking about Flacco's recent claim he's
the best QB in the NFL? Remember: Flacco's 44 regular-season wins are the most by any QB in his first four seasons in the NFL. He is the first QB to lead his team to the playoffs in each of his first four seasons. He has won five playoff games and played in two AFC championship games. Of course, Fantasy owners are less interested in wins than TDs. Flacco still needs to pick up the pace in that regard.
