It’s Yates Time...period

[GT Tennessee]

In a small sample size, Yates is the most “QB like” on the roster.

I feel like Graham always throws it too high?

 

[Jacket4Life]

Graham eyes down his receivers. He throws a good long ball but honestly haven’t been overly impressed with him overall. I know it was a small sample size against backups but you couldn’t help but notice Yates has that it factor. Reminded me a lot of JT. Hope he plays more going forward.

While he had some throws and good running decisions, don't read to much into it. It was late in the game against Va Techs 2s and 3s.

That being said at this point in the season play him.....why not.

Pretty much

True it was late, but I just feel the rhythm of the offense was better. Those ball he threw were better balls then Graham IMO.

Maybe. But the Vad/Tevin year reminds me that the coaches generally have a better handle on QB capabilities than we do.

Ya, but comparing CPJ and Collins is like apples to oranges. CPJ is a hall of fame coach

Both are young qbs and will have good/bad games. They are both good athletes and both need reps to be able to put a game on their shoulders and win it.

Comparing Yates against backups to Graham against starters is a bit rough. I am going to trust whatever the coaches think is best here. It’s hard to gauge qb play when we have issues at almost every position group right now.

I like Yates. I don't know if he is that much better, but I would love to see. It can't hurt at this point to try him.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

In 2 years there will be a better QB on the Flats than either.

I think Graham has made remarkable progress this year, but which QB to start is a decision the coaches are a million times more qualified to make.

No doubt about it. He moves the team play him. Yates has earned the chance to show what he can do. Maybe he can motivate the line to block someone for a change.

Can we just skip ahead to calling for Gleason because 5 weeks ago this was what was being said about Graham.

Play any of the 4 you want but if any of these 4 are starting 2 years from now we have a big problem. And if P'nut is still have that is a bad sign.

 

[Ibeeballin]

He looked exactly liked the other 4 QBs that played this year

 

[thebull35]

You guys do realize the EXACT SAME THING was being said about James Graham earlier this season? I'm a coach and have been in a similar situation and can assure you that the coaches have done what they feel is best for not only now, but also what best for the long term health of the program. If they felt that Yates was even marginally better than JG he would have been in there a hell of a lot more than he has. I get the feeling that posters here want to use Yates' success as a final measure of vindication of how great of a coach CPJ was...Again, I say, LET IT GO. He's retired.

 

[gtie73]

They sure don't look qualified to do anything much.

Disagree

 

[swarmer]

He didn’t look any better than what we’ve seen
