Or your words my friend, Mills does NOT fit the profile.

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.

Hey, I agree, it really does suck.
When we signed Mills I thought we had a future superstar in the fold.
What is really strange is after the initial injury in HS he made a quick recovery and played most of his senior season. When he re injured the knee in the state championship game he said it wasn't a big deal and holding him out of the rest of the game was just precautionary. Here we are nearly two years later and he is still trying to recover from it, having re injured it twice since then.
