I'm not sure the lesson will totally hit him until he graduates. The difference between the fourth or fifth-round pick that he's going to be after coming from a pee-wee school and the possible first-rounder that he would have been after leading LSU to possibly ANOTHER SEC and NC is a LOT of money!
Well, NFL scouts are pretty good at finding the gems in all that gravel at pee-wee colleges. But they can also smell a troublemaker and a slacker a mile away. THAT is what is going to hurt Perrilloux in the draft. How much cash will a team risk on a possible Michael Vick who keeps letting his homies get him into trouble or on a Ricky Williams who can't stay away from the hash pipe. If he's hearing any feedback from the scouts, . . . that ought to be sobering for him.
Particularly w/ a no-nonsense NFL commissioner like Roger Goodell. Screw-ups are going to be fewer and farther between at the next level.
Miles should have booted him way before he did, and as much of a critic that I have been of Lee, I prefer (hands down) Lee, a guy who seems to have integrity, over RP, who had none while he was at LSU. I hope RP finally grew up though.
Me too. Hope he stays on track and proves himself in the NFL. And, I actually think it would further vindicate Miles. Because there's no evidence that he would've been able to right his own ship had he been allowed to keep fooling around at LSU.
Bingo. Put him on this LSU team and we're definitely 9-1. We would have simply outscored Georgia and blown out Alabama by 17 and kept the Florida game respectable. LSU would be averaging 41 ppg, giving up only only 18 ppg with a shot at Florida in the SEC CG to play for the NC, which was my prediction in the offseason with Perrilloux.
Assuming he: A. Attended class B. Showed up for team meetings C. Didn't get arrested for fighting/drugs/whatever (I know, none of it mattered...) D. Didn't have a full-up team mutiny on his hands. Predicting what LSU would have accomplished if they hadn't kicked him off the team is as useless as comparing Lee and RP's stats. The context is too different.
More offense for us = less offense for them. Fewer 3 and outs. Fewer turnovers. Etc. At least, I think that's his point. Either that, or a coked up RP would be able to play both ways? Maybe...:shock:
