Some Unwelcome News

It appears that your beloved Toros are not the only team making a huge splash at the trade deadline: the Arizona Outlaws are also making a big push to build on their 3-1 start. They traded their starting QB, Al DeNeff, and their 1st and 2nd round picks in 2010 to Detroit for QB Freddie Matthias. Freddie is a confusing case, as he is one of the top-rated QBs in the game (92/92), but his performances to date have not been consistent with the scouts' opinions. His career high Rating was 83.1 in 2006, and his career Rating is 68.3 (although that is a bit misleading - his rookie season he had a Rating of 30). His career high completion percentage is just 59.0%, and he's never thrown for more than 3537 yards or averaged more than 6.96 yards per attempt.

It is also not the case that Detroit has been a bad team during his tenure there - they've won their division four years in a row, but seemingly have done so despite Freddie, and not because of him. Hard to figure this guy out, but I can only hope that he continues his mediocrity while demanding huge money out of Arizona. For if Freddie's light switch suddenly turns on, the rest of the Ring of Fire will be in for a rough ride.
