The first question is why is he leaving and if he was third on the depth chart, then what is the reason?
That said, I'd have no problem with LSU taking a former UGA QB. Unlike Miles, Richt at least knows what he want's to do on offense and recruits his QBs accordingly. UGA wants to run a more "pro style" type of offense. Therefore they go out and scour the country looking for the best QBs that fit what they want to do (Shockley is really the only exception the Richt tenure).
On the other hand, Miles seemingly wants to run more of a traditional pro-style offense (QB under-center; I-formation, TEs tight to the line), but brings in guys who don't seem to fit that mold (Harris/Jennings/McMillan). All were more "spread" guys in HS. At LSU they're trying to be forced into doing something (a) they're not accustomed to and (b) may not utilize their skill sets to its highest potential.
If taking UGA's "cast offs" is the way to get good QBs who fit what you really want to do on offense, then do it!

Both Park and Bauta are dual threat types. Park at the very least is a very mobile pro style, and Bauta is full on dual. Most UGA fans, at least on the Internet, wanted one of them over the pro style statue Ramsey.
As a high school junior, 5 star Aaron Murray ran for over 900 yards at 9.5 ypc with 12 TDs. He carried the ball 87 times a piece his first two years at UGA. That's only 21 carries off Jennings who actually ran the read option. He had 7 rushing TDs at 3.5 ypc as a senior. He finished his career with 16 rushing TDs. That's four more than Jordan Jefferson in 73 less carries.
Jennings and McMillan were both more mobile QB that flat out dual threat. While I do agree that trying to force dual threats to play pro style, is a very steep climb, it wouldn't be so bad if we had one QB that could give us at least a 2 year cushion to train these guys. These guys that were in strict read option spread, or full on spread, have a tough time learning how to operate in a pro style offense and it takes years to develop that.
