I think they need to stick with Yates until it's clear he can't cut it or gets injured. He's the best option we have at the moment and anyone else we get is going to be rusty and unfamiliar to the rest of the team, even Chopper.
We have a running game and we have a defense. We even got some great kick returns yesterday and a clutch kick from Rackers. There's 50 other players who need to suck it up and reach a higher level to give Yates the time to work his way into this.
Tom Brady was once a fifth-round rookie. So was Terrell Davis. Arian Foster was once a UDFA. They took advantage of the opportunities when they presented itself and Yates could too. He's got a talented cast around him and a defense that can make a lead hold up. Let's give Yates time to get up to speed and know the season is not lost.
Of course, I've been watching Tim Tebow the past four weeks and they manage to get it done with a lot poorer personnel than the Texans have. Our schedule isn't that tough the rest of the way and we have a two-game lead in the division. We've got a cushion heading to the finish line which may be just enough time to get Yates up to speed for the playoffs.
