Here is some history for you. Perilloux would have played through the 2009 season. Lee and Jeff would have had time to develop, and be at least better than they were. It would have then looked like this:
Jefferson 2010 junior - crowton left
2011 Jefferson / lee --- mett on team---- here is when qb fell off. Stu wasn't recruiting anyone!!!
2012 mett - only took three years for les to figure it out and bring in cam.
2013 mett - first year with cam
2014 Jennings --- should have been a qb that was recruited in 2010/11
2015 Harris-should have been a redshirt freshman and backup.

See how that works? Isn't all Perilloux, it was also the stu years. With that said, still one of the best 5 teams through that in college football.

I understand what you are saying and your point is noted as the possible beginning of the QB troubles on Miles timeline. The loss of Perriloux unquestionable hurt us that season and the next but, I refuse to accept that with his loss we have been unable to get another QB ready in the next 7-8 years.

Our QB problems are a result of:
1) years of Miles' inability to assess and hire an OC that could recruit and develop QBs. There should always be capable back-up ready to play whether it be due to injury or graduation. This has been our biggest problem.

2) Miles hitching our wagon to a QB that had no business playing for us much less in the SEC and riding with them out of loyalty until they graduated. I consider this problem has possibly caused some issues with recruiting also but it could be that the staff has totally whiffed on QBs outside of Mett and Harris.

Fwiw, I like Miles and if I ever have a son would want him to play for him. Unfortunately, he got a bit complacent and he has had some lazy offensive hires. We are finally headed in the right direction but we have to quality QBs on the team that are the ready next man standing.
