[QUOTE="ibeattetris, post: 656984, member: 1175"] I think you are right. But I think putting Yates in for that play ignores the context of the situation at hand. In the scenario you suggest, I still think you march out TO for the 2-pt conversion, and then let Yates take over next time the offense gets the ball. I am sure [B]plenty[/B] of people will disagree with that statement, but that is what I think. I agree [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER] . Kicking the XP is admitting defeat. I also think Yates was the number two QB, so they decided to throw him to the wolves since that is what the script said to do. The problem I have is it seems to be a very low percentage play there. I find it hard to believe that Yates had a higher chance to convert that 2-pt than TO did. It is certainly with the realm of possibilities, but it is not something that I personally believe. To me this is like in baseball where some coaches still think that bunting helps, where in the majority of the situations, it is a worse proposition then swinging away. Has bunting ever helped a team win? Sure. Could Yates have got the 2pt conversion and helped lead the team to a victory? Sure. I just personally think TO had a higher chance of making the conversion.
