DieselPwr44 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We already have TJ Yates on this team..his name is Rex Grossman. (Typing this as I watch him get picked by throwing into double coverage yet again...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpskins10 Posted January 15, 2012 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. I'd trade a 6th rounder for him while also drafting RG3. You don't bring in Yates with even an IMPLICATION that he'll eventually get a shot at the starting job, because then you're committed to him and don't find an actual franchise QB.

Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 No, Rex fumbles too much and his interceptions come against bad teams and good ones. Rex is a turnover machine. Yates isn't. Heck, the commentators are saying he played well. It happens. It's the Ravens. Yates is way better than Rex and Beck. Plus younger. I still say draft a QB in the second.

Enter Apotheosis Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 and I'm the one with NNT? At least he started his thread in the right forum :thumbsup: I'd trade a 6th rounder for him while also drafting RG3. You don't bring in Yates with even an IMPLICATION that he'll eventually get a shot at the starting job, because then you're committed to him and don't find an actual franchise QB. Yates' value has undoubtedly gone up since he was taken as a 5th rounder, there's no way the Texans just give him up for anything less than a 3rd and he's not good enough right now to warrant that. Might as well just develop two rookies or sign a FA stopgap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Agreed. He is young, talented, competition for a guy we draft. ---------- Post added January-15th-2012 at 01:04 PM ---------- Also, can we stop bagging on the post. Don't respond if you don't like it. But it hasn't been discussed. It's a thought for discussion. That's what this board is for and I don't start threads very often so, sorry if I am offending your more astute mind.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Agreed. He is young, talented, competition for a guy we draft. Young? Yes. Talented? If you say so. Edit: Honestly, I don't see the talent. He seems like a backup at best...imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWinSkins83 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 You think the Texans run the exact same playbook as the Redskins? The Texans' offense is what we want our offense to look like. They have players that make it have a identity. I have a question for you what is Kyle's offense? And do you really think his offense has been fully installed with the players we have had over these two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you started the thread, sir. If you start the thread, you have to be ready to deal with the consequences of starting a thread, particular when T.J Yates has been playing in a live game rather poorly.

Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'd bet he's better than Rex and Beck already. I'm also saying he could be as good as Flynn who scares me. Scott Mitchell anyone? I'm saying he's a young option who knows the offense (unlike Flynn), who could be had relatively cheap to compete with a rookie we draft high. I am not saying hand him the starting job, but he could be as good as a rookie we draft. Again, an option. It's interesting we all have such differing thoughts on him. I'm probably in the wrong on him but given his understanding of the offense and our utter lack of talent at QB, it was a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's worth more to the Texans as a good backup than anything they can get draft-pick wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 True true. I just don't understand the venom in the responses. It's just a discussion not life or death or something important. Just sayin, I don't get why this seems to be the way we react on this board to a differing opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubstix Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Is this thread serious? I'de rather Grossman or Beck. If Grossman was still backup at Houston, they would have clobbered the Ravens. The Ravens are the most overrated team in the AFC. It's a shame because if they can't get a run game going, they suck because Joe Flacco is absolute garbage.

Hal2856 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 um **** no... he wasn't very tradeworthy today Yeah, he got worse as the day went on, but I still think he played good this season over several games (unlike Flynn), and we should consider him.

I'm probably in the wrong on him but given his understanding of the offense and our utter lack of talent at QB, it was a thought. Better than Beck? Quite possible. Unfortunately, he's less capable of creating plays as a passer than Rex is and has proven to be just as turnover prone when the Texans need to lean on him most. It will probably also take him much longer to develop than Luck or RGIII even with 7 starts under his belt and he likely will never be able to match their physical tools. Even if you compare him to, say, a Ryan Tannehill type it's pretty much a toss-up in terms of time to develop into a starting talent. Yeah, that was kind of my underlying implication. I wouldn't give up much for him at all. I think he's worth more to the Texans as a good backup than anything they can get draft-pick wise. Absolutely.

Conn Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah...trade for the guy who threw 0 TD's and 3 INT's in a game where he wasn't sacked once, because he's got one of the best OL's in football, where his RB ran for 135+ yards, where he has Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels, where he had a D playing lights out. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not be able to overlook anyone, but that also doesn't mean we have to consider everyone with a pulse. Some guys just aren't that good, but make very good backups. IMO, Yates is one of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
