Not true. There is certainly a chance that his talents will get a big bump. It happens. It makes no real sense, as it's designed, but it does happen. There are many design flaws around in player creation, IMO, the biggest of which is that current ratings and potential ratings are not really correlated particularly well.

That said, I hear of guys who automatically cut players with ratings like this. Fine if they need to space in their organization, but they're just dropping a raffle ticket that will pay off every now and again.
