January 16, 201412 yr Doesn't matter what we think - it's what Hufnagel thinks and he's gone back to Tate over and over again.
January 16, 201412 yr So 17, say the Bombers trade for Tate, how would you feel about that? Somehow I doubt you'd be happy. Neither would a lot of fans here. How can you NOT SAY a 23 year old qb with all kinds of upside isn't the future for the Stampeders over an injury prone 29 year old with a chip on his shoulder? Tate has started 9 games in his entire CFL career with the Riders & Calgary. Tate has started 3. but that's not the point here, what you or I think doesn't really matter, Hufnagel has treated Tate like his starter all along and I don't see that changing. Less focus on what you or I think, more focus on what Hufnagel thinks.
January 16, 201412 yr Well, we'll see. I think it'll be an open competition with the best guy winning. Like I said, Tate has 9 starts to BLM's 3 so actual game experience isn't much of a factor here.
January 16, 201412 yr I think you hope that, I don't see it. Tate will start the year as starter. Whether he lasts the whole season is another matter.
January 16, 201412 yr Not lose, Jacquie. Trade. As in trade Drew Tate. The only sure thing I see is that BLM is the only qb who will certainly be with the Stamps for the long term. He's 23 with a huge upside. Tate's 29. He has had injury troubles, has probably reached his full potential as a player & can be a hot head on the field. The Stamps can get a lot for him in a trade when they believe that BLM is ready to be a full time starter. On the flip side, maybe McPherson 30, is the one ultimately let go. With two & perhaps 3 starting qbs, things are going to be interesting again in Calgary. Read your other post. You said lose, not trade. I still would like to know what Hufnagel has said or done that makes people think Mitchell is ahead of Tate on the depth chart. It doesn't matter if Tate starts the season ahead of BLM on the depth chart because Buck Pierce 2.0 will be injured by week 3.

It does when the discussion is who the Stamps starter will be at the start of the season.
January 17, 201412 yr I believe 2014 will be the year of the emergence of BLM. Could be MOP even. Calling it now.
January 17, 201412 yr Tate's a very talented QB, he could start on my Bomber team any time. Tom Porras could have started on the 2013 Bombers.
January 17, 201412 yr Tom Porras could have started on the 2013 Bombers. It could of been the 2013 version of the longest yard!
