Why is Yates still here ??

[Skooby]

He won't be backing up anyone, nor will he be able to start so is it a clipboard moment ?? Anyone wondering why we aren't considering other options ?? We had the first black GM & have a female coach, so why not kick the tires on Colin K ?? He could at least be a viable back-up if needed, Yates is worthless.

Yeah, I just see no value in keeping a veteran presence around. I'd much prefer that Tyrod shoulder the double burden of painstakingly preparing for every game as starter AND being the mentor guiding Peterman through uncharted waters in his transition to the NFL.

I'm sure they are looking for other options, but no reason to get rid of him at this point. You still need at least 3 QBs for preseason games. I'd be willing to bet that barring an injury, he wont' be on the roster week 1. Get some other young kid to hold a clip board and double your chances of developing someone.

Let's face it, if Tyrod goes down, The Bills stand nothing to gain by playing Yates.

I think he could help develop Pete for a season. That has value. Would rather have a third QB like that around on a daily basis than a sixth safety or lber that is going to be inactive every week anyway.

#3 QBs usually aren't very good. Nobody ever really wants to play them....in fact, some teams don't even have a 3rd QB on their roster.

I like peterman as #2.

Yates isn't making all that much money at all. No harm keeping him if we run out of options.

If that's the case then Peterman is doomed.

Yates was just ghastly the other night.

Reminded me of Todd Collins without the arm.

We had the first black GM

Umm ever heard of Ozzie Newsome? Doug Whaley was not the 1st black GM in NFL history

Yeah, the Bills didn't have the first black GM.

Whaley was the 7th African-American GM in NFL history.

Well, I think it's safe to say Skooby's source doesn't work in the Archives.

I meant first female coach & I wrote this at like 3:30 AM, so give me a break. We break new ground was my point but instead of discussing the main point, you'll try to find other flaws (WTG).

Yates shouldn't be teaching anyone / anything on this team, waste of time and space. Colin would be a better backup because at least he had some success, Yates is worthless.

Jen Welter with the Cardinals was the 1st female coach in the NFL, not the Bills Kathryn Smith.

As far as keep Yates, Peterman talked about how helpful Yates has been for him. So if Yates is helping the kid and they have a good relationship, keep him on.
