Bercovici Press Conference - Merica - 06-16-2017
After being named the temporary starter, Josh Bercovici let down no one with two clutch performances, helping the Otters win back to back games. Bercovici threw for 434 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception en route to a league best 97.9 rating.
Despite this, it appears the Otters will bench Bercovici in order to see Ethan Hunt play.
Josh is available for questions.

You carried your team to two wins and are getting benched. Do you feel there's something you're missing?
There are rumors swirling the the league that the team wants you to fail. Is there any truth there?
Some GMs have privately said they felt you could be a negative in their locker room and are hesitant to pursue you in a trade this year or free agency next year, do you want to address their concerns?
1: Not at all. The only thing "in play" is terrible decision making by management. They've dug this hole all by themselves, and don't appear to have any inkling of an idea of how to solve it. If this is politics, Grapehead is choking worse than Hillary.
2: No, I played better than any other QB, I made one mistake in two games and we won both Games rather handily. Clearly the team plays well with me under centre, I had great chemistry with everyone. When you win games you tend to find that people aren't as against you as you might of thought. Contrary to popular opinion, I am team first, it just so happens playing me is the best option for this team.
3: Honestly the team just wants management to get their heads out of their asses and make a decision. This constant flip flopping hurts team chemsitry.
4: I would hope those GMs would reach out to me before coming to the wrong conclusion, and maybe look at how poorly Grapehead has handled things here as to why I have been so negative and outspoken. I just want to win games.

I'm a bit late...
1. As we all know, the NSFL will add 2 extra teams next season. Having a QB with starting experience could be very valuable to these new teams. How do you see your niche in S2?
2. Would you prefer to start fresh on a new team or continue to fight for a starting job?
