Quarterbacks may need a solid team around them to find success, but they're still typically their team's most important pieces. Thus, Calgary starting quarterback Drew Tate's shoulder injury midway through the first half of Saturday's game against Toronto could have significant consequences for his Stampeders, particularly if he's out for an extended period of time. Early indications are that Tate has a left shoulder injury, and it could be dislocated; that happened to him in 2011 and had him out for...
