I caught part of an ESPN phone interview with Yates and he said one of the chief reasons he could respond to pressure situations so well is that Kubiak drills all the QBs in "what if" tests every week. While Schaub was getting a lot of the practice reps, all the QBs were getting the mental drills so he feels he is just as ready as Schaub or Leinart on the mental side of the game and that all he needed was the physical reps and the game experience to be just as ready as the other QBs.
