"Basically, what they're telling me is the quarterback situation is slim. JaMarcus struggled and you'll have a great opportunity to come in here and play." Perrilloux said. "I got in there, and it wasn't that. ‘Cause when I got here I never had an opportunity. I was on the scout team for two years. They didn't treat me like I was the No. 1 recruit in the country. They treated me like a guy they signed to see if he could play or not."
Hasn't changed a bit. Someone else's fault.

I think of it as him playing the "woulda,coulda,shoulda" card. A ton of underwhelming CFB players do this. Especially dudes who end up in trouble.

Exactly what I was thinking. And that bit about what Miles and Jimbo told him wasn't a lie--though the author does his best to make it seem as though RP was the victim in just about every aspect of his life. It's true that he had a shot to play early, considering Russell's struggles and RP's potential. But JR and MF exceeded any and everyone's expectations. Bottom line RP got beat out. They didn't treat him like he was the #1 recruit anymore because he wasn't. He was an extremely talented part of the team, playing quarterback with two other extremely talented guys at the same position. And there's no evidence then or now that he should've started over either of the two QB's in front of him.

I expected a better story about a grown up man admitting the mistakes of his youth. Instead its garbage.
I personally witnessed Perilloux acting like a clown and cursing at an LSU professor outside of Lockett. Miles bent over backward for that kid and ultimately dismissed him when the incidents got more serious.
It's years later and nothing has changed in that thick skull. He could have been a great one but it's no one's fault but his own.
I was pulling for him with the Giants. Now I say he can go frick himself.

Sorry to break it to him, but with every level increase there is a decrease in recognition. College is a bigger beast than high school, nd there are a lot of stars on a team instead of one. The coaches also probably saw entitlement in his eyes and played down his "stardom" to tame the ego beast. Treated him like everybody else, since he's on a team. This isn't fricking figure skating.

Yep, we all know Miles puts the best talent on the field.
