I have a friend who teaches at the high school we went to together and he explains to similar situations about his frustrations in try to get through to some of kids. I always send him this gif for a good laugh.
You don't think Yates had earned and the respect and fire of his teammates at this point the kid plays with tons of heart. That's the kind of stuff that true leaders do and lead from the front.

I appreciate that laugh. One thing I don't do is stress out over "reaching kids". I found out in the private sector that I couldn't even "reach" all the adults who worked for me either or indirectly, and these were adults making good money. I quit wasting energy on trying to motivate people who weren't intrinsically motivated as return on investment was almost nil (that is nil as in zero, not the new "NIL"I have a friend who teaches at the high school we went to together and he explains to similar situations about his frustrations in try to get through to some of kids.

) . With adults, they could be freed up to "pursue other opportunities". Can't do that with students. I do spend my time and energy on helping those kids who want to do better, and there's plenty of them. You cannot push a rope as they say.
Ditto. I have been doing ACT/SAT tutoring for about 12 years now, and I have learned that I pretty much know at my first session with a teen if there will be success (significant improvement in scores). The ONLY way it will happen is if they are motivated to want to learn OR somehow, their parents' motivation is causing them some "discomfort".I appreciate that laugh.

To make this thread relevant, Yates has that drive and passion that will allow him to be as good as his innate abilities will allow him to be. Similar to Godsey in that respect.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Yates is a leader. I watched the games where he led Milton to the state championship. He literally willed that team down field and to the championship. He's got it, whatever it is.
Yates was originally recruited by PJ and then CGC kept recruiting him when he took over and Yates kept to his commitment at Tech
I guess he can join thr club with everyone else and some of that is on the other players and play calling... the flip TE pass would've been a TD say for 1 block... Another Pass to TE was barely missed on timing due to a early snap that he had to collect before throwing
Because practice and the game are two different things. The qualities Yates has - decision-making, for example - are best expressed on the field during actual games.
I said after the NIU game that Sims had just been Wally Pipped. I was for Yates playing last year because I saw him in high school & he has a lot of heart. He is a winner as evidenced by the poster that said he is on track to graduate in May.
It’s not just those things though. His accuracy on easy passes just ain’t there.
You already know you’re right about this, but just wanted to let you know you are absolutely correct. You don‘t train guys to win, you can train them on tasks. They can learn to do tasks better. Winning is not a task. Winners win a lot of times when they should have next to no chance of winning, losers lose sometimes when they should have almost no chance of losing.
True, but we saw him this year in one quarter of one game. I agree with running the hot hand. Yates is or should be QB1 now.
