Yet, all I see is complaining that we haven't had a legit B1G QB in ages. Thus, I feel it's a fair question. Would Parra have been in the mix or possibly even the starter? Afterall, he made the travel team as a RSFrosh. Rhoda played in '14 (when Parra RS) but did not play in '15 when Parra did play and traveled. Thus, Parra was ahead of him on the depth chart.
So what? That doesn't mean Perra could have been one. They played him because he was on scholarship. They wanted to see what they had. After two years, they "helped him find another home".
For the record, at St Thomas he's a 58.7% passer, 7.2 yds/att, 6 TD, 4 INT, 60.3 yds/game (not a typo), plus 11 rushes for 29 yards, no TD. In DIII. Not exactly "would be lighting up the B1G" numbers. I'd bet he'd be riding the pine behind Rhoda, Green and Morgan had he stayed.
The argument for Streveler is at least a little more plausible. He's 65.8%, 8.4 yds/att, 21 TD, 4 INT, 295 yds/game, plus 130 rushes for 570 yds, 10 TD in D1 FCS. Though it's a big jump from FCS to FBS (especially Power 5), it's not nearly as big as the jump from DIII. It might as well be a different sport.
I have no ill will for Perra. I wish him nothing but the best. But to think he was legitimately a B1G caliber QB based on lackluster numbers at St Thomas is silly.
