Perriloux getting kicked off the team is what set back the LSU qb situation until Burrow/Brennan. We had to throw unprepared qb after unprepared qb in there and hope they didn't buckle under pressure. That broke the typical cycle of experienced qb in the spotlight with younger guys learning and waiting for their shot

There was 12 years between when Perrilloux signed (2005) and when Burrow/Brennan joined (2017/2018).

Having one guy get booted doesn't excuse over a decade of being unable to recruit QBs into a system you wanted to run.

Chris Garrett, the kid who spurned us for Notre Dame with no chest, the tall Stephen Rivers kid who couldn't start at Vandy, Anthony Jennings, Andrew Hatch, Zach Lee, the fat MS QB who was moved to TE at Ole Miss, etc etc.

Literally over 12 signing classes after Perrilloux, the only QB who even remotely was a difference maker was Mettenberger and even he only amounted to 1 productive year given our offensive system.

For as bad as OL recruiting was under Miles, QB was worse. You can't blame Perrilloux for 11 other years of terrible QB recruiting and development.

Also, people rave about what could have been in 2008/2009 with R.Perrilloux and yes he had some amazing red-shirt freshman games (throwing for 300yds in his first start, and the SEC Championship Game MVP against Tennessee). But it isn't like Perrilloux went on to be Baker Mayfield at another college program and then was a starter in the NFL.

Perrilloux wasn't that great at Jacksonville State and he never amounted to more than 3rd string in the NFL.
