(S3) - PT #4 - Best at what they do

[ItsJustBarry]

I am choosing to write about Nicholas Pierno. Many will say that he is great at throwing interceptions and may even be “the best at this task”. With 26 interceptions thrown through 9 games, it would be hard to argue with that logic. He does seem to have it down to a science. What Nicholas Pierno is the best at though is perseverance and learning from his mistakes. He has been criticized by many through 9 weeks now and he continues to show up every week and give his 100%. We have seen other players retire, reroll, or just flat go inactive for far less denunciation so it’s a testament to Pierno’s dedication to himself, his team mates, and the entire Colorado franchise as Pierno progresses through his rookies growing pains. We’ve all witnessed a quarterback go from a 32% completion game throwing 3 INTs and posting a dismal 7.5 QBR to a poised, slightly refined QB completing 60% of his passes, posting a QBR of over 43, and leading his team to a victory over the NSFC favorite Yellowknife Wraiths. That’s over a 500% increase in QBR rating in only 6 short weeks. And yes, despite not throwing a TD that game, he LED his team. As the QB, you are the face of the franchise. As the leader, you are condemned for their shortcomings and praised for their successes. I am excited to watch his career progress and expect great things to come as the Yeti continue this rebuild and stack pieces around this thriving, young QB.
