Yates
Have to admit, I'm kind of ticked Lord Tebow is getting all the love today when it was really the kicker and the Denver D that won the game for them, whereas, Yates was clearly the key to the Texans winning. I mean, come on!! That last drive was epic for a rookie only playing his second full game - and on the road no less. Oh well, I guess it could be a good thing Yates and the Texans keep flying under the radar.
BTW, does anyone else think Leinart would've pulled that game out? Uh..no!

The Yates comeback is a great story but he hasn't been doing it six straight weeks. And the Texans' D was pretty vital to Houston's win too.
Let's let TJ be our little secret for as long as possible. Even when Schaub was the QB, most of us thought we'd stumble against either the Falcons or Bengals. It just didn't seem possible we could run the table after the way we looked in the first half of the season. Now the next step is to not lose focus and let our guard down against the Panthers. Cam Newton is dangerous and the Panthers compete hard every week despite their record. We're still not good enough to half-ass our way to victory, even against the Colts.

Interesting.....
@RichGannon12: Marvin Lewis...Had we not taken Andy Dalton in the 2nd round, the next guy we had our eye on was TJ Yates. We really liked him coming out!

I'll put this thought here since it seems as good a place as any. I remember the not too distant past when I used to watch these Sunday night games, Monday night games after another week of Texans futility and I would often marvel at how much better the teams on TV were than the Texans I had seen just prior. Sometimes the difference was so dramatic it was like I was watching a totally different sport being played.
Granted neither of these two teams is worth a damn but I can't tell you how satisfying it is to watch these two crap teams and realize that the Texans are quite possibly better than either of these teams at every single position on the field. I seriously think the Colts could beat the Rams.

From PFT:
Polian would also like Colts fans to know that he almost came up with a better solution than Curtis Painter as his quarterback this season. “We were getting ready to draft [T.J. Yates] in the very same round,” Polian said via the Indianapolis Star. “Houston picked before us if I’m not mistaken. Should we have taken him a round earlier? Yes, without question.” The Colts didn’t have a pick in the fifth round when Yates was drafted. - I find it somewhat comical that a couple of teams come out to their public and say, well we were going to draft this guy but.....

I caught part of an ESPN phone interview with Yates and he said one of the chief reasons he could respond to pressure situations so well is that Kubiak drills all the QBs in "what if" tests every week. While Schaub was getting a lot of the practice reps, all the QBs were getting the mental drills so he feels he is just as ready as Schaub or Leinart on the mental side of the game and that all he needed was the physical reps and the game experience to be just as ready as the other QBs.
