Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Yates might be my favorite draft pick this year. The defensive picks were an absolute must, and I'm optimistic about them, but I really like Yates as a long-term sleeper.
You will see plenty of him the 4th pre-season game.
BTW - first post! Excited to be on here.

Hard to find highlights
Put me on this ship as well, even if it was against lesser competition, Yates looked good out there for a rookie QB with a shortened amount of time to get acclimated to the offense, team, and NFL life in general. And I feel like he accomplished that by just playing football, not overthinking it or anything, just going out there and making throws he knows he's made before.
Is he good enough to be the backup? No. Next year? Probably not as well. But he's a good prospect and it's always good to have someone in line for the future.
On that note, I also don't have faith in Leinart to be the guy we go to if Schaub goes down. He's our best bet as a number two, but fingers crossed we don't have to rely on him to make our first ever playoff appearance.

Im much more confident in Yates than what we had last season at the #2 spot in .... Dan Iranouttaboundski.
Hopefully he can displace Lienart (asking a lot).... and we dont have to worry about a lefty QB.
He just needs to be ready to displace Leinart in two years when Leinart's contract runs out. There is still plenty of time for that.

Coach Gary Kubiak suggested Thursday that rookie T.J. Yates could supplant Matt Leinart as the Texans' No. 2 quarterback this season.
"He's got the ability, he's got the arm, he's got the brains, all those things," said Kubiak of Houston's fifth-round pick. "Just needs reps." Yates simply hasn't gotten enough practice snaps to overtake Leinart before the season, but this is confirmation that the Texans remain high on the former North Carolina Tar Heel. Yates has appeared in two preseason games, completing 6-of-12 passes for 97 yards. He's a deep Dynasty league sleeper.
