Actually TJ Yates is a very interesting comparison. Both were 5th round picks. Like McCarron, Yates' first NFL starts came in place of an injured starter (Schaub) late in the season. He led a really good team to a couple more wins down the stretch. Then he won a playoff game - the Texans first playoff win in team history.
The only differences were...
1. Yates actually beat 2 playoff teams in the regular season (Falcons and Bengals) instead of bad teams like McCarron beat (49ers and Ravens).
2. Yates actually played well and won in the playoffs, unlike McCarron.
3. Texans fans weren't talking like they had the next Tom Brady sitting on their bench.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
