At least at quarterback, the Calgary Stampeders havent missed a beat despite some misfortune on the injury front; when one guys injured, the next guys ready to go. With both Drew Tate and Kevin Glenn sidelined by injury Friday, third-stringer Bo Levi Mitchell had a debut for the ages. The sophomore CFLer completed 29 of 33 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in the Stamps win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With Mitchell at the helm, Calgary was strong for all four quarters en route to their 13-point win on the road. Mitchells big night also came on the heels of the Stamps impressive come-from-behind win over the Montreal Alouettes in Week 4, an effort orchestrated by the 23-year-old from Texas. Mitchell is 36-for-46 for 425 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in limited action this year, but his impressive start could certainly pave the way for more playing time in the coming weeks. And that leads us to our question. Calgary already had a bit of a QB controversy with Tate and Glenn but haas Mitchell now turned it into a three-headed monster? Despite a checkered injury history, the 28-year-old Tate entered the year as the Stamps QB of both the present and future, with Glenn an indispensable safety net should injury strike.dddddddddddd. Tate took part in the pre-game warmup on Friday and is presumably close to a return and, while Glenns return could be a little farther off, he will at one point rejoin the Stamps QB ranks as well. Will head coach John Hufnagel return to Tate, hoping the fifth-year Stamp can finally stay healthy while also knowing he now has two excellent security blankets should that not be the case? Maybe Glenns veteran experience will be preferred down the stretch with Calgary currently second in the West with a 4-1 record. Or has Mitchell, five years Tates junior, shown enough to have the Stamps rethink their future QB plans? The Rouge asks: Injuries aside, who should top the Stampeders QB depth chart moving forward? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
