Yates being better than Hoyer doesn't mean hes great or even good though....you do realize that right?

well aware. They're probably pretty close to each other. You started with the statement that the Texans offense came alive when Hoyer went out, implying that anything was better than him / he is the problem. I'm merely trying to say that the offense is more or less the same, except Hopkins went up and made a huge play and is a badass.
So the only quarterback Hopkins hasn't caught a TD pass from in his tenure is Savage. Let that sink in for a bit.
I think showing that a guy off the couch can come in and be as good or better than him shows that pretty much anything at all is better than Hoyer.
