The "overall rating" is not a good way to judge the ratings anyway, since this one includes player performance (stats) as well... also, it is a rating relative to the other players in that league at the same position.
So, when discussing rating drops, we need to see if a) there was an injury and b) which 'real' ratings dropped. In OOTP 9 it is impossible that a young pitcher for example goes from 7/7/7 (1-10 scale) talent to 4/4/4 in a few weeks. I am talking talent here, not current ratings. These 33-year olds can change their current ratings rather quick if scouting is off and they happen to be aging and being fast agers. History is full of examples of these kind of players.

Okay, here's a historical challenge for you. In the history of baseball, name a player who put together a season with an OPS over .960 and a VORP of 67 in his age 23 season, followed by a .897/44 season at 24, and was washed up and out of baseball--with no injuries, by 29. Who, after OBP's of .346, .376, .352 in his age 22-24 seasons, never had OBP above .314 in his final four years. Having trouble? Meet Riley Thompstone, one of the "off-the-table" stars of my New Orleans dynasty. (fictional league, injuries and scouting on)
