Jay Cue's "Welcome to the League" was incredible. After being drafted by the Arizona Outlaws in season 18, he spent an extra 2 seasons in the DSFL, so his first game in his rookie season only happened in Season 20. The Outlaws traveled to Baltimore, to face the favorite Hawks, but Jay Cue had a masterclass. He threw for 377 yards, 5 (FIVE) TDs and 2 Interceptions, with a Quarterback rating of 117.7. The highly anticipated premiere of the rookie did not disappoint for sure and his league presentation left everyone salivating. Well, maybe not his opponents.
This game gave the impression that the challenge from the DSFL to the ISFL was not very different. Cue had great seasons in the minors, and with 5 TD passes in 1 game, i guess everyone wondered if he adapted incredibly well to the majors.
Unfortunately for him and the Arizona Outlaws, that was probably the best game of his entire career, as he struggles a lot with consistency, never again having such a fabulous game. He has some decent games, that is true, but he also has abysmal ones. For example, this season he managed to get a 28.6 and a 31.8 QBR games, unacceptable numbers at this level.
He still has a few more seasons at the highest level, but his career left a sour taste in everyone's mouths.
