Congratulations to TJ Yates who led the Houston Texans over the Cincinnati Bengals on MNF.
We ran his information against historical NFL QBs and discovered that his personality/temperament makeup is highly correlated to that of Hall of Fame and Charger legend Dan Fouts. Dan had his best statistical years from the ages 28-34 and T.J. Yates is 28. Since 2012 Yates has attempted less than 50 passes. We say, let Yates play and see what he’s got.
According to our Personality Analysis Method, a potential way forward is to let Yates play now. If he plays well down the stretch, sign him to a long-term team-friendly deal. Because the next couple of draft classes will produce SB winning QBs, draft one that compares favorably to a successful historical QB. According to our research the newly drafted QB should not play his first year. If Yates can post good numbers in this 28-34 age window then trade him when his value is at it’s highest, around age 31 or 32. The Texans should be able to get several mid-level draft picks and promote the QB they drafted (with an ideal temperament) to starter.
Of course this is all dependent on one thing – whether Yates can post good numbers down the stretch. From our research he could be enough to bridge the year or two gap.
An important note, his temperament family has never won a Super Bowl and that’s why we recommend him as a short term, 2-3 year, solution.
