(S4) - Weekend PT #4 - Close Calls

[ralz9]

For Nicholas Pierno, the decision that altered his career was actually (mostly) out of his own hands as the Yellowknife Wraiths, who had just assigned him to the Kansas City Coyotes, traded him to the Colorado Yeti who made plans to build around the fourth round pick and make him their quarterback of the future. Pierno had the option to protest the trade and stay in the DSFL and put up big numbers, but decided he wanted to gain the game experience of playing at the top level, even if that meant everything wasn't always pretty. Since joining the Yeti, Pierno has struggled often but has had some huge bright spots with big wins over Las Vegas and Yellowknife and occasionally flashing spots of brilliance with his legs as the NSFL’s top rushing quarterback a year ago. In year two, he’s taken on a big leadership role in the locker room, trying to keep spirits high (especially with those with expiring deals) which has been great for the winless Yeti’s morale, especially after a small front office controversy that Pierno decided to try and take the higher road on. Ever since he accepted that trade, Pierno has made himself the Yeti quarterback for life.
