I don't think Tate will last long.

The snap was wide, and staying on the ground was the right play. He has no idea who is behind him when he recovers the ball, and getting up could easily result in a fumble and a TD the other way. We have gotten angry at Burris for years for making stupid plays like that. Tate made the right play and kept us in position to put 3 points on the board. Luckily, Montreal took a stupid penalty and kept the drive alive.
I think Tate has looked great. He is a young guy and will take time to develop, but I think he can be our QB for years.
