I am fine with talk of replacing schaub because I think he is good not great. But Yates is not that replacement.

No doubt about that.

Unfortunately, he is at the helm till the final bell rings. Kubiak made that fairly clear in his presser today. If that's the case, he needs to get rid of his checkdownitis, and throw the damn ball down the field. 20 drop backs yesterday (4 sacks). While his yds/completion was in the 8's, the majority of that was due to YAC. Not going to cut it, as evident by last night.

Gents, we've been living off borrowed time with all the starters we have lost, not to mention our DC. The last two weeks are proof that our time is slipping away. Such a shame, but it is what it is. Maybe Wade coming back wiill help return some respectability to the D at least. I have zero confidence our O can hit 20.
