I think the biggest scenario in recent years that could’ve changed the face of the league is if Nick Pierno would’ve been a pocket passer instead of the running, fumbling, inconsistent, shitty quarterback that pretty much held back the Colorado Yeti from doing anything the last few seasons. Yeah, as if the Noble issue wasn’t enough for the franchise, Pierno’s refusal to not give up the dream of being a dual threat quarterback completely undercut the Yeti’s rebuild. Now, instead of Colorado on the cusp of competing for the playoffs and perhaps being a dark house Ultimus contender, they’ve had to go and do rebuild 2.0 instead. Multiple people across the league have suggested time and again that the Yeti would have been a much better team without the Pierno circus, and after watching game after game where the Yeti had a shot to beat teams like San Jose and Orange County, only to be ruined by a Pierno interception in the red zone, I’m with them. Think about it. The Yeti could’ve competed with anyone, and perhaps pulled off a few wins instead of being a doormat. In the close playoff races, that could’ve been the difference between who did and didn’t make the playoffs. Granted, the Otters probably would’ve won the title each year still, but that’s not guaranteed. (221)
