Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I like this better than Matt Flynn. We won't have to spend alot and Yates knows the offense and looks good in it especially for a rookie. Then we could draft a guy in the second and let them battle it out. I'd rather use our first pick on playmaker like Blackmon. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpskins10 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't mind Yates, but it's time for us to stop relying on other teams to develop our QBs for us. The likelihood of finding a starting caliber guy outside of the first round has decreased immensely in recent years, so I wouldn't bank on that either.

Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm thinking this could be good for competition. Yates is a rookie, we can continue his development and he knows the offense. Plus if we draft competition it will push him. I'm just skeptical of Dlynn and think wasting a first rounder on a QB when we have soooo many holes a guy like Yates for a 5th or 4th rounder could be good.

GhostofSparta Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So let's just play along....you want to trade for this guy. What would it take to pry him from Houston? He's a rookie making almost nothing, and he's proved he can be a great backup to Schaub if he gets hurt again. So why should they move him for anything less than say....a 2nd and a player? You know, like what it cost the Cards to get Kolb, who actually has less starting experience than Yates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I doubt it would cost a second and a player. Maybe a third. He was undrafted I think. We could get him they have Leinart to back-up Shaub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been covered ad nauseam on this board...getting a star QB will make your perceived "holes" much less apparent. Look at the Pats and Colts OL stats for the years when their QBs were out compared to when they were playing. The defense will be on the field less if we can score and won't always be trying to protect a lead. A good QB makes the rest of the team better. We'll find one in the first round.

abdcskins Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 TJ Yates ain't that good brotha. Not worth trading for. Draft and develop our own guy thank you very much. LOL literally two seconds after I posted Yates throws right into solid coverage for an INT. Critical mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfriedenthal Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 He's done well considering his situation, and where' he's drafted, but he is in the bottom 5 QB's in this league (starting). I wouldn't touch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get him they have Leinart to back-up Shaub. He was a 5th round pick. But again, why would the Texans want to stick with Leinart and give up on this guy? What incentive would they have to trade him for a 3rd? At least without involving a player like Landry or Orakpo or somebody like that. QBs, even backups, who prove they can play adequate and win are a valuable commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Youd spend a 2nd or 3rd rounder and a player for a 5th round rookie whose played in just a handful of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpskins10 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Never mind the fact that Yates has played some pretty atrocious football today. Yeah, I think the lack of a QB over the last 20 yrs has really warped the minds of 'Skins fans. Anyone under 30 that has completed a pass for another team in the NFL automatically becomes a possibility. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUSkins24 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We won't have to spend alot and Yates knows the offense and looks good in it especially for a rookie. What offense are you referring to? The Shanahan offense? He is a rookie, so despite playing for the Texans he has never played in Kyle's offense.... am I confused?

Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's the same offense. Kubriak was Shanny's coordinator and Lil Shanny was his. Same offense he doesn't have to have played for Kyle. ---------- Post added January-15th-2012 at 12:57 PM ---------- Interceptions don't make a bad QB. That's the problem we have as Redskins fans. We want perfection. Plus the ravens d is tough. I think Yates has played very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yates has played very well. Yates' interceptions have come mostly from terrible decision-making and he's damn lucky he didn't throw 5+ today with some of the drops the Ravens D had. Really, this post of yours might as well be a defense of Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Also, I would only do the trade for a low round draft pick, like a 4th, 5th or 6th. Maybe it's impossible but he's young and would add competition as opposed to what we have now, he has huge upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
