I agree with you guys about wanting Tate to start. I just think that he's more capable of utilizing this teams' most talented position; the wide receiving corps. That said, if Denard has drastically improved his pocket presence, decision-making, and throwing accuracy, how can we NOT go with him? If Rich Rod chooses to go with Tate it tells me one of two things: 1. Denard Robinson hasn't improved as much as it's been implied. 2. Tate has improved an equal amount as Denard has. Either way, I will have confidence in Rich Rod's decision and I will have confidence in the chosen quarterback. My heart wants Tate, but my brain says Denard. Regardless, can't wait for the season to get started. GO BLUE!

Michboy, I hope your right. I don't like the rotating QB system, but if we have to go with it, I'd rather Tate take the lead. Until proven otherwise in a game situation, I have no reason to believe that Denard's passing skills are anything other than what they were. He'll get the chance Saturday, I'm sure, and I hope he shows me that I'm dead wrong. The season is here, time to put on the colors. Hail!

Way to go out on a limb guys. I have heard that it is Tate the Great that will get the opening nod at QB, with D ROb coming in on the third series. My person tells me that Tate has made major strides since getting his wings back. This from a person inside the program who will remain unnamed.
