My biggest what if goes way back to S24 when I played for the Philly Liberty.
So to set the scene I was a kicker back then and hadn't had the fastest start to earning in the league. I did want to break a franchise kicking record so I was keen to play my career at Philly but expansion came along in the form of the New York Silverbacks and Berlin Fire Salamanders. When the protection lists were decided for Liberty I was told I would be unprotected which I agreed with at the time as a kinda bad earning kicker but through that season I learned how easy it was to max earn and play this game properly so after I had been unprotected I had learned how to max earn and became a GM of the Kansas City Coyotes.
Because of how that happened and some great chats with both @woelkers and @Highhaschdi I was pretty sure I was going in expansion and have loved it pretty much every day since even though it meant giving up on my original career goals.
But the big what if for me would have been if I knew that Philly was going to need GMs like a week earlier cause I would have loved to apply for that and try to GM with @Memento Mori. It would have been skipping the DSFL but I think I would have done a decent job and would have been able to help him a bit and maybe things work out for both of us and we would both still be there. Who knows what would have happened but Mori has always been one of my favourite people around this site so to just miss out on an opportunity to GM with them will always be my big what if.
