Calgary Stampeder Thread

[jerrym]

Calgary has traded QB Drew Tate to Ottawa for a 2018 fifth round draft choice. The Stampeders return is pretty for an experienced QB.

The 32-year-old pivot is entering his ninth season in the CFL with a handful of starts and years in Calgary’s system under his belt. The Iowa product has a 4,670 yards and 32 touchdowns on 380 of 572 career passing.
Although he has spent the majority of his career as a backup, Tate had an opportunity to take over the starting spot in Calgary back in 2012 when Henry Burris and the Stampeders parted ways. A shoulder injury early in the season sidelined the pivot for the majority of the year. In 2013, he battled Bo Levi Mitchell for the starting job out of training camp which ultimately went to Mitchell.
In 2014, Tate helped the Stampeders capture the 102nd Grey Cup with a win over Hamilton where he had two rushing touchdowns in short yardage situations.

That's all they had to give up to get Tate? I'd rather have Tate than Willy!
