As has been mentioned over and over again, our receiving core sucks. On top of that he has had lttle time to prepare. He was thrown into this job and asked to learn an offense that took Shaub 4 years.
Maybe I just like to look for potential, but I saw some good things from this guy. When he gets the chance he throws a better deep ball than Shaub and he is more athletic than Shaub. He is still learning. Just like Shaub was doing. The only bad thing I have seen from TJ is his tendency to throw the medium pass high at times.
Concerning the playaction pass, most of the time the deep guy (Jacoby) is not even looking for the ball.
Overall, I am not going to say a guy sucks after 4 games, minimal practice reps, and no training camp.
One final note, its not like Shaub has been the most accurate QB. He has been known on multiple occasions to make the dumb ass pass.

I get what you are saying, I just don't think it is particularly relevant. Yates isn't auditioning for a starting job in the future. I highly doubt he is ever given real consideration for that role. If I am ever wrong I will evaluate him on what he becomes.
But circumstances have given him the job right now and for however long our season lasts. It really doesn't matter what level of preparation he has or what is around him. He has what he has. He can only be evaluated for the job he currently has, and he stinks at that job. No amount of daydreaming over whether he can one day be better than Matt Schaub in the right circumstances changes the fact that he stinks right now. I don't blame him for it at all, and I don't think anyone else in his shoes would be any better, but it is what it is. The end of our football season.
