Posted August 7, 201311 yr comment_12810 Calgary Herald Stampeders beat writer Vicki Hall tweeted this afternoon that Drew Tate reinjured his throwing arm at practice today. Don't know the extent of the injury. Stamps being mum but looks like Kevin Glenn gets the start vs the Riders on Friday from what I can gather. The Stamps fanbase is getting fed up with the injuries Tate is accumulating & are hopeful that John Hufnagel leaves Tate unprotected in the Ottawa expansion draft. A significant number of Stamps fans are also wanting the team to move on from this guy & play Bo Levi Mitchell as the starter from here on in. Tate's now being referred to as Buck Tate on Stampeder fan sites. Nice security blanket with Kevin Glenn.
August 7, 201311 yr comment_12816 That is unfortunate most likely we will end up with him next season :/
August 7, 201311 yr comment_12821 This is exactly why Hufnagel insisted that Glenn came back when he traded Burris.
August 7, 201311 yr comment_12861 Doug berry should never have been fired. Glenn should never have been released. Pretty simple really. Maybe Tate could be had cheap.
August 7, 201311 yr comment_12865 From TSN: According to the Stampeders, the setback is not the same injury, but it is in the same general area of this throwing arm. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429268
August 7, 201311 yr comment_12886 I don't think we can take another injury prone qb.... No thanks. I'd rather have BLM.
August 7, 201311 yr Author comment_12924 Well, Vince Young signed with the Packers today so I guess that ends the wishes of some he come here. Thankfully.
August 7, 201311 yr Author comment_12926 Article in the Calgary Herald today that Drew Tate has been told not to do anything until further notice. And that the Stamps have a hierarchy.... BTW, Tate's started just 9 of his last 23 games with the Stamps yet Hufnagel has given him the starting job with no competition. If you think it's crazy with Buck & the chances he got, what about this?

BTW, Tate's started just 9 of his last 23 games with the Stamps yet Hufnagel has given him the starting job with no competition. If you think it's crazy with Buck & the chances he got, what about this? well it was a rather lengthy injury last year for Tate right? at that point in his career it's still easy to say that the injury was just a fluke thing. Even Pierce got the benefit of the doubt at one point.
August 8, 201311 yr comment_12988 Well at least now it looks like it won't be Tate as the protected Calgary QB.
August 8, 201311 yr comment_12991 Calgary won't protect Tate but can't see Ottawa taking him. I think they take Collaros or Wiley.

BTW, Tate's started just 9 of his last 23 games with the Stamps yet Hufnagel has given him the starting job with no competition. If you think it's crazy with Buck & the chances he got, what about this? Blm was his competition and Glenn was the veteran backup? We can only judge huff based on who he protects from Ottawa
August 8, 201311 yr Author comment_12998 If Huff protects Tate, gonna be a firestorm. The guy isn't well liked by the Stampeder fanbase. it'snot like the fans are wishing he'd come back.More like they wish he stayed away He brings it all on himself As he acts like a strange dude. The long hair he chopped off recently... What he said to TSN last year at halftime pretending to have a concussion, the crazy antics in a game with the yelling, screaming & pointing fingers at teammates. Now the injuries. Perception is everything. Bo Levi look & acts like a pro qb in waiting. Tate is totally different. Fans just don't have faith he is the guy long term. I don't think he is.
August 8, 201311 yr comment_13014 He's a weird dude for cutting his hair? I think the fans don't give a crap how he acts.... they are more likely done with him because he's Buck 2.0 and can't stay healthy. It only makes sense to keep Bo Levi since the kid is really young still and has a lot of upside and can easily destroy the Bombers defense day in and day out!
