Pittsburgh Power sign Kyle Rowley for 2012

Just yesterday I blogged about the Power needing to get more voltage out of free agency.  The need to bring in some talent to compete with Philadelphia was becoming greater and greater with every big signing by the Soul.
Less than 24 hours later, the Power have signed former ArenaBowl MVP quarterback Kyle Rowley for the 2012 season.

The AFL is a quarterback driven league, and while the Power already had Bill Stull signed, he is still somewhat inexperienced when it comes to arena football.  You absolutely need someone who knows how to get the job done.

Rowley is coming off a 2011 season that saw him throw for 3322 yards (12th in AFL), 78 TD's (10th), and 15 interceptions.  He had a completion percentage of 64.8% (7th).  he would have ranked higher in those categories but he missed four games while on injured reserve.

In 2010 he led the Spokane Shock to the ArenaBowl title and finished with 4475 yards, 102 TD's, only 11 interceptions, and hit on 65.5% of his passes.  If he can post numbers like that again, it will make Pittsburgh a formidable opponent to defend. 

The Power have their quarterbacks, now it's time to fill out the rest of the offense.  This was a great day for fans of the black and gold.
