Report: As backup quarterbacks go, TJ Yates could use some work

Fact: TJ Yates taught Cali Swag District how to Dougie

Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback TJ Yates gets a lot of flack. He's like Dave: capable but you just can't trust him. And let's be honest, backup quarterbacks in the NFL are rarely reliable.

NFL.com's Mark Sessier ranks Yates 25th among backup quarterbacks. While he acknowledges Yates' playoff win in 2011, Sessier faults him for "[showing] very little since." I'm not really sure what that means, at least in this context. We're talking about backup quarterbacks, after all.

Yates has logged 36 regular season pass attempts in the three years since his playoff win.
