The Orange County Otters Quarterback Controversy.
As everybody knows, the Orange County Otters drafted three quarterbacks in the draft leading up to the inaugural season of the National Simulation Football League. They drafted these three quarterbacks, while having a fourth QB already on the roster, Anthony Petrakis.
Taking one for the team, Anthony Petrakis agreed to swap positions to help out the thin defensive back corps of the Otters. Mike Boss, Josh Bercovici and Ethan Hunt were not so kind.
Each QB was given a shot in the preseason to make a mark and prove they should be the leader of the Otters. None of the three QBs shined bright, and Mike Boss was eventually chosen as the starter for the regular season.
Following a disastrous first game, the other QBs were given their shots at the helm. Neither QB really stuck out again, and Boss was awarded the starting job again. This left a sour taste in the mouths of Bercovici and Hunt.
There were a lot of news articles, a lot of bickering and a lot of Boss being thrown under the bus. Ian Bavitz, the LB for the Otters was in the locker room, and he is adamant that there wasn't ever a huge amount of discord or angst in the locker room. Berc and Hunt played their character roles up to the media, but were generally decent, perhaps pleasant in the locker room.
Fast forward a little bit, Ethan Hunt was traded to the San Jose Sabercats, while Bercovici rode the bench for the rest of the season. He has since moved on to greener pastures with the Las Vegas Legion, and the controversy has been left in the rear-view.
The media over-hyped the situation, there wasn't actually any bad-blood in the Otter's locker-room. Everybody understands it's a business and they've moved on.
Part of Bavitz still wishes for some of the controversy and excitement back. The Otter's locker-room has grown awfully quiet.
