Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ There are quite a few worms that work very well ~ Here's a few of my favorites ~ Berkley Powerbait Power Worms both the 10 & 7 inch, Power Team Lures 10" Ribbon Hinge Worm, Strike King Rage Thumper Worm, Mann's Jelly Worm 9 & 12 inch, Lake Fork Hyper Worm 5 & 6 inch, Both the Zoom Trick worm & the Zoom Magnum Trick Worm, and finally the Berkley Powerbait Power Shaky Worm.

While I'd agree that there will always be a situation where a QB can have a good rapport with a receiver, perhaps even two receivers. That relationship is built out of repetition. The more they get, theoretically, the better it gets. Perhaps once they spread that theory out over the two pass throwers on the team the other players can establish an effective situation as well. Comparing players of different positions might not translate in the mind of us non-players. While the media, which includes a decent population of non & ex-players, has always contended that this would never work I'm going to stay stead fast in my own belief that it could. I definitely see the need & benefits to having two Game ready & tested QB's especially considering the percentage of starting QB's injured each season. As for finding 32 clones, as it refers to my team, we'd only need to find two. And now I've said about all I can on this one, so I'm done. Thank you for allowing me to dream a little. A-Jay

Great response. Clearly it's hard enough to get an offense to gel around a full time QB - his timing, his cadence, his dropback, his audibles, his playcalling, his personality idiosyncrasies, his vision.....leverage his strengths and compensate for his weaknesses when he gets the vast majority of the reps. How does this shake out when the season's on the line and "the next guy up" has gotten None ? Usually not good. As for a QB that is capable of being effective and willing to sit 50% of the time ~ I guess that depends a lot on the out come. Look at how little a kicker actually plays and yet the Whole Game or even a Championship rests on his ability to come off the bench and be productive. Whether or not two QBs can pull this off is an unknown but what is known is that the current system is just really bad. Where there is a will there's a way. Do fans Like having an entire season go in the tank because there is not a suitable player ready & available ? I don't. I'll content that although having two top-tier QB's is best case scenario - I'd be fine with two slightly above or even average QB's rather than a great one who can't play and a fill in who's never had a chance to play & improve. If you get what you pay for, allocating big bucks for one player & then throwing spare change at another, it's hard to expect the same performance. I think it's hard to use past 2 QB systems as a guideline if this will work because I do not feel there has been the kind of commitment to it that it needs to be effective. As for as fan base's support, I believe fan bases want to win, bottom line. I'm willing to bet that how a team gets there really will not matter once the trophy is hoisted. Clearly, there will be a learning curve and some pretty wicked growing pains. But they can't be nearly as bad as the inept football were forced to endure when a "Back-up" is forced into action. A-Jay

Teams rotate players in & out of every game; Defensive packages, dimes, nickels, goal line, different running backs & receivers are coming & going all game ~ what's the difference ? There isn't one in my mind. If a team takes the same approach this is totally do able. Think about the no-huddle. Twenty years ago people would have thought that was Crazy - no huddle ? But now it's all the rage. This is the same thing - not crazy just new and admittedly different. All of this is insurance for when one QB is hurt. It's called depth and every team strives for it except for the most important position of the field. Why ? A-Jay

I totally understand your point and I can't argue that under the current system that teams use now it seems unlikely that anyone would consider it but I'll content that the current system is fatally flawed. The team that wins it all may simply be the luckiest - meaning they have the best QB left in the play offs. By not allowing a second QB to get meaningful reps both in practice & in games, history has proven time & time again that he'll struggle. If I'm a coach, I'm doing this, whatever it takes. It's just foolish in my mind not to. There are always challenges to every new concept but if a team can have multiple players at other positions that can perform well, there is no reason that it can not work for this one. A-Jay

Hoyer hasn't done much without the BB Scheme Blanket ~ Clearly I'm much better equipped to run a boat in the surf than coach and NFL team, but in my inexperienced mind the only way I see it working is that both QB's have to play every game. Either split the half or play every other quarter or what ever. They both must know that the reality of it all is they're both only a play away from an injury anyway and the best way to stay ready is to play, Play, PLAY ! And as for the Owners buying into it, the first team that does it and is successful - they'll all be all over it like a Dink on a Senko . . . . A-Jay

Nice ~ Never thought about that - sounds like a very handy option for the solo boat launching human. A-Jay

Guys, I'm going to both agree & respectfully disagree with these numbers and here's what I mean. While I do agree that using the current system that NFL teams scout, draft, practice & play with this current one starter & one back-up QB, there is not much of a pool to choose from and that there just are not any decent options hanging around waiting to step in and make any sort of effective contribution. But where I disagree has to do with "the culture change" I mentioned before. With the exception of the Kickers, every NFL team is made up of several DB, Running Backs, Receivers, Tight ends, Linebackers and Linemen on both sides of the ball. Never just the minimum because injury is such a big part of the game. If the NFL expanded the roster by just ONE MAN, teams would not have to change the current deal there but could be more inclined to add this all important player. I know teams have dabbled with this in the past but the second QB always seemed like more of a gimmick rather than a legitimate threat. Though there's always a chance a team could come up with two Hall of Fame caliber QBs but I'd agree it's unlikely. Every teams QB is not a HOFer. Most are good, a few are kind of bad and a few are great. But the drop off seen by ALL the back up QB is so dramatic it's nearly impossible to expect anything close to effective productive play. It's like having a one legged back up Running back ~ doesn't make sense. Why is it that teams leave themselves so vulnerable in what is arguably the teams most important position ? If it were up to me, I would much rather have and play two good QB's than one super star & one hack or has been. The extra good players out there, it's just that no one has been willing to invest the time, money & effort to incorporate this train of thought into their system. Doesn't each team already have a QB coach? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. A-Jay

There are plenty to go around - and it's more of a culture change than anything else. When the first team make a commitment to it, and I mean an all out plan. One that includes playing them both interchangeably every game - all season. And when the advantages & their successes become apparent, there rest of the heard will undoubtedly follow. And as fan, I want my team to do this - so that when the inevitable QG injury happens - there's a completely capable human right there to take the helm and help keep the ship on course. Why does Quarterback Depth have to mean - one guy who can play and one guy who can't. What's wrong with two QB's who can both play. There's no need for a #1 ~ I'm betting that a Two #1's would work better. A-Jay

I was checking them out when they first came out and thought they looked like something I'd like. After a few months I finally caved and purchased a modest assortment of the ICON and Raglan Long Sleeve tops along with a Hoodie. They made a trip to Mexico with me in June - It was over 100 degrees F daily for a week - so there was some sun. I continued to wear them all summer. Tops are Killer Cool and the hoodie takes the chill off a cool morning (or night trip) nicely. I like them and will probably get a few more. A-Jay

Just tie on a Scrounger / fluke for him & be done with it ~ A-Jay

Yes - and it's the easiest walking bait I know of - A-Jay

Oh No ~ He Shanked It ~ !~ ! A-Jay

Right here ~ Morning, Noon & All Night. A-Jay

Timing is everything Jeff Check out the Molix Supernato Beetle ~ http://advancedangler.com/2015-icast-raw/mike-iaconelli-molix-supernato-beetle/ Might be Good. Also don't forget Sitxo's favorite - Yellow Magic Popper. They're also making a walking bait called the Yellow Magic Havana ~ looks good. A-Jay

Hello Rich and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

The first two games of Wild Card Weekend probably didn't play out like the NFL had Hoped. Though to call that mess a "Good Product" And at this point, why every NFL organization does not invest in & play TWO First string QB's is hard to understand. There just too much history to indicate it's needed and too much invested in the rest of the team not to. A-Jay

Sounds like a fun day and getting a Big Fatty to Boot ! PB's are Always a Blast Congrats A-Jay
