Mike Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Personally, I think Drew Tate sucks. And his sideline demeanor makes 2015 Matt Nichols look friendly.

Bigblue204 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Drew was decent 3 years ago. Honestly don't know where his skills are right now. But he has the bad luck injury bug and the bombers lived through enough of that recently. He'll be a good insurance policy in Ottawa, but I'm glad he's not here and sad he's not in SSK. sweep the leg and SPuDS 2
Atomic Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Last time Drew Tate had any meaningful reps he blamed Dave Dickenson for why he didn't play well. He threw 0 TDs and 2 INTs last year. He's a well-known headcase. I don't see the appeal. Maybe a few years ago, sure.
mbrg Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Weird QB market. Nichols for a 7th. Tate for a 5th. Adams for a 1st. Willy for a 1st, 3rd and an all-star DB. Nichols is the best of the bunch currently, yet commanded the least in return. Was also the only one who was a pending FA. Hard value trades if a consistent rate can't be established.

mbrg Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 3 hours ago, Mr Dee said: Who was the luckiest QB in the CFL last season? Rakeem Cato, of course. QBs by % of interceptable passes that WERE picked off #Details - courtesy of Derek Taylor First things first, love the analysis Derek Taylor is doing. Not sure how he gets his numbers, if he has a single source, if he's going over the tape from every game played last year or teams are providing him with this, but no matter. It's great. Second, using those numbers at face value (which oddly enough weren't always whole numbers when the math was done, maybe some borderline passes were counted as half interceptable?) and calculating through, this would be the 2016 percentage of interceptable balls per total passes thrown: Cato - 7.7% Masoli - 5.4% Burris - 4.9% Ray - 4.5% Jennings - 4.3% Willy - 4.2% Glenn - 4.1% Nichols - 3.6% Durant - 3.4% Collaros - 3.2% Mitchell - 2.5% Reilly - 2.2% Harris - 2.1% Apologies for the lack of fancy colours and formatting. So Cato is both the luckiest and the worst. WildPath, sweep the leg and MOBomberFan 3
Floyd Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Tate is far from the 'biggest' signing... not even in the top 15... Its a nice insurance signing but I really think Brock Jensen is their true #2

It's been so long since he played well in a game it's hard to assess if he's still capable. He's bringing his existing contract over to Ottawa, so this feels like Calgary freeing up some cap space as much as Ottawa getting insurance.

News to me if he's not on their roster... Tate is their #2 the same way Kevin Glenn was our #2... if Jensen shows ANYTHING in practice, he'll get a shot before Tate.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Tate basically said he didn't want to be a starter the last time he was a free agent. I'm surprised anyone would even trade a 5th for him. rebusrankin, Atomic, Noeller and 1 other 4

MOBomberFan Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 It doesn't seem very smart to air your grievances to the press immediately following a loss, but it's a lot more interesting than the usual "we just need to go out there and execute" canned response
johnzo Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Tate made those comments in 2014, so it's amazing that he lasted two more full seasons after calling out his OC, who is now his HC. CodyT 1
rebusrankin Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Hey now, Drew Tate just learnt from BLM. Recall BLM's comments after the 2016 GC.
Noeller Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Via Dave Naylor: "Am told that ex-Montreal Alouette GM Jim Popp is sitting down low at the Leafs game tonight. He lives in North Carolina ... why is he here?"

Got a feeling his first order of business would be calling up Reed and inquiring about Adams, and offer the als Toronto's 2018 1st lol

Mark F Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I thought Rex was going to be on TV in the USA .
