| Strengths | Flacco is a big, tall (6’6”+) transfer from Pittsburgh; stands tall and surveys the field well; excels in throwing out of 5 and 7 step drops; has nice touch and can heave the cheese when called for; steps into his throws, solid footwork and follow through; very strong leader who can rally the troops; likes to attack downfield and throws a catchable medium and deep ball, always looking downfield; excellent at play action fakes; feels the rush and can slide around to buy time; not a runner, but he’s not as lumbering as he looks.
|
| Weaknesses | He throws with an awkward release, almost goes sidearm on short throws; will baby the ball on checkdowns; doesn’t fight the rush, often too quick to take the sack; hasn’t played with the big boys although he did thrive in a very competitive, defense-oriented FCS conference and impressed in Mobile.
