Football use, what the diff does it make?

We use da pill in SF with no problems remember the coach still has to complete the pass and we have had a coach complete 90% and we had a coach complete 1% of passes using da pill. The biggest issue was the choice of QB. The coaches in my league voted not to use the newer TDQ because it was unfair to those who have used the older standard tudor/ miggle QB's all the time. So we only use the standard QB's for league games and that can be a challenge.

Ok I WILL say that the rules state the pill is not allowed. That is the only reason. That's in our League which you helped start. I feel disrespected often by some of your posts because it appears directly aimed at a league that you helped to start and also endorsed in the beginning. I apologize if I have unknowingly Done something to offend you.

Please explain the TDQ vs the TTQB issue further. How is it unfair?

Since we first started playing in the 70's we only used the TTQB's and when I tried to introduce the TDQ's late last year a majority of the coaches voted to use the older TTQB instead. Most said that the new TDQ made passing too easy and preferred the challenge of passing with the older TTQB.
I now have a righty and lefty TDQ that I can only use in practice.
Nothing wrong with the product I bought two last year and it's more of a preference thing.

Thanks for the explanation Wayne.
One more question though........Can you use 1st,2nd,3rd or 4a run Proline bases even though they are better than the other bases?

I use the TDQ and have done so for the last two years. While it has helped improve my passing...and is a good fit for me....I led the CBSMF in INT's as well as attempts. Many coaches are better passers than me with their TTQB's and although the TDQ is allowed to be used by anyone out here in the LAEFL, I am the only one who uses it. I have no idea how that makes the TDQ unfair. In fact, all it did was make it possible for me to compete on a more even footing with my opposition. It is available to any coach that wants to buy it....just like 1st run Prolines and many other rare and expensive EF toys.

my only grip with the TDQ QB is in the way it stand to throw...the way the arm is positioned.. ( the TTQB has its arm to the back of the figure. the TDQs is in the front) intentional or not allows the user to lean that thing almost 3 yard past the line of scrimmage before he throws the ball.... i have played against it and had passes completed against me because of that fact. with the normal ttqb they would not have been able to have thrown the pass. its just a long lanky thing that gives the user a slight advantage in being able to just lean over the defense and fire away....and we use hand up linemen.

but thats just my opinion... no knock on the product or the users..to each there own.
