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.
