This does nothing to clear up how and why Mills won't be a transfer possibility.
I provided three separate options for why he shouldn't be considered one and none have been confirmed or denied.
I think that the apparent fragility of his knee should convince him the last thing he wants to do is pass up a chance to get a Stanford degree.
Once he has it, if his knee is holding up and it doesn't look like he is going to be designated the starter then perhaps he should consider a transfer to make best use of whatever eligibility he has remaining.
This does make sense. Unfortunately, it still paints a picture that it is more likely that Mills won't ever be a full-season starting QB at Stanford than it is. Just never heard of any recent athlete being so debilitated by a knee injury that I'm not sure has ever been publicly reported to have been an ACL tear or other major knee problem. Hell, even Navorro Bowman came back from a gruesome knee injury seemingly worse than Mills has had, and returned to a Pro Bowl performance level for a little while.
Just sucks, as Mills was the QB recruit it seemed Stanford fans were most optimistic about being great, since Andrew Luck.
