One of the biggest "what if?" Moments I have experienced in the course of my career here in the NSFL/ISFL came during my first ever draft into the NSFL back in Season 10 with my first player Joliet L. Christ. In that draft, there were two clear teams in need of a new quarterback to lead their franchise and within the season 10 class there were really only 2 that had any potential of being a franchise QB and that was myself as well as Adriana Falconi. Now it was one of the most unique drafts because the two teams that needed a QB picked every single pick in the top 5 of the draft. San Jose owned 1, 2, and 4 while Philadelphia owned 3 and 5 respectively.
San Jose went the obvious picks taking D'Pez Poopsie and Kazimir Oles 1 and 2 which left Philadelphia to decide what to do with picks running out. Obviously San Jose would then take their QB at 4 so it was take a QB or take a player and take whoever was not taken at 5. As history shows, Philadelphia went with corner Lucari Felix, a user known to produce nothing but draft busts time after time and passed on picking their QB. San Jose got their pick and took Christ Jr. who went on to be a hall of fame QB and a user who was co-GM of the year twice. Christ changed the game and Falconi was always a shade behind. The two even played in an Ultimus game that saw JLC win in San Jose's first title ever.
Falconi was very very good, but Christ was a hall of famer and a true game changer for his time. You have to wonder, "What if Philadelphia chose Christ?" Would he or Falconi stay in similar situations? Would AW ever become a co GM? Would San Jose have won an Ultimus and potentially had CK leave the position awhile ago? You have to wonder a lot of things here.
