its not worthless at all - its definitely a step down though, if you play it like any other offense. you need to focus on ath/spd/bh/ft% more and lp/per less, in a relative context (relative to other offenses). it also seems to result in more possessions, which is an extremely attractive proposition to top teams/coaches. i just recently switched to FB on every team i have - to study it more - because i think it has a lot of potential.
