Well both their names end in "ford." So you'll be good with either.

Only one is a Ford in the city where it means something

Yeah, that eventually they will break down and leave you stranded on the side of the road.

Hijack. Don't start nocking on Ford now. They didn't take any bail out money and have the best selling truck for 34 years straight. You probably drive an asian wonder car I'm sure...

[sarcasm alert] Of course I never thought TJ Yates could win a playoff game this year. After all, the Houston offense is so complicated that it takes several years "in the system" just to get the terminology down so the QB MIGHT be able to run a 2-minute offense there. No way a kid can pick up something that complex so quickly...[/ sarcasm]

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

Has Yates really done anything all that special, other than not give games away?

The Texans have a strong running game and defense. Anytime you have those two things a rookie QB will have a chance.

The thing is you dont need a QB to do a whole lot more. Had Rex been better at not giving away games the season might have turned out differently.

Because of our talent level, Rex was called upon to do more than he was capable of.....and far more than Yates was called upon to do.

I dont see it that way. They werent asking Rex to be Peyton Manning, all they wanted him to do was complete some passes (which he did) and not give away the football (he didnt do). That's all it looks like Yates had to do and he did it.

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

I don't see Yates doing much other than handing it off and making some pretty safe throws.

Giants/Falcons game looks to be a defensive battle, very different from the Saints/Lions game yesteday.

I think he makes his throws look safer because he doesnt do stupid things with the ball. Rex does stupid things with the ball so everything he does looks like an adventure.
