Yates: Ride or Die...for now

[HamiltonFan]

It's tempting to think Sims big play abilities could've resulted in a different outcome, but I have to think Yates playing smart is the reason it was so close. Sims likely would've turned the ball over at least once (likely twice).

Yates has earned the starting job. He’s smart.

 

[BioJacket06]

Without an O line whatever QB we put in there is going to be limited. It is what it is.

 

[cincyjacket]

Is Sims even available? I think he's injured.

 

[cyptomcat]

I would give Sims a few series when he is finally fully healthy to see if he can earn the job back.

He deserves the chance.

Yates is the guy

Yates is a gamer and the better option to keep the play alive behind our offensive line

 

[smokey_wasp]

He outplayed ukelele behind a terrible O-line. He just gets it, IMO. And he is accurate on the short stuff that moves the chains. Haven't had that in forever.

Honestly we still haven't run or pass blocked well or constiently. If he ever gets that he will pick apart defenses he's accurate, goes thru reads quickly and smartly and seems to always make the throw or run when it's needed. Yates is just a better QB at end of day.

Yeah, that performance was really quite impressive when you consider how overmatched the OL was in this game.

Yates is a freshman keep in mind He has a lot of time so develop him

Old school vs New school.

Should you lose your job to injury?

Yates is a game manager at QB. Need the big play ability of Simms imo

If Sims is well and does not start it would be because of how he played in the first game prior to the injury.

I’m surprised you say that. Yates keeps eyes downfield for opportunities to me whereas Sims tucks and runs. Couple good downfield passes by Yates today, one where he pulled up at the line of scrimmage to throw it. Sims would have been a runner at that point. Won’t know ultimately if Sims wins this game but I’ve got to think he is only going to do it with his feet. There were some close passes I trust Yates more on than Sims

 

[WracerX]

Yates doesn’t make mistakes and manages the game. That is the first step imo. If we are going to go the talent route, that is what we need. Take what is given, and take the shots on your terms when you have a matchup advantage.

Don’t risk big mistakes for big plays. Hold serve and slowly pull away.

College game is too fast for Sims. He plays scared and with a bad OL he may never learn how to develop a pocket presence. Yates has a much better feel for pace of game and looked great given circumstances today. He made some great plays our last two drives in 4th quarter.
