{not sure why everyone is blowing up over this kid getting an offer.}
Because we've seen strong armed athletes with high upsides (Jefferson, Russell) who couldn't read a defense as a freshman or a senior.

Precisely. I have no problem with his offer because he has a ton of talent but I don't want him unless it's in a 2 man class and I primarily don't agree with him being the preferred option on the board. At this point it would be understandable but not at the time in which that info came out. When the info initially came out Barrett,Thomas, Bateman and Mitch were still on the board. Now all are off so I can agree with him being towrds/at the top. I still prefer Ferguson and Kincaide to him. Just my opinion and evidently others agree but I can definitely see why some people like him. He's a talented kid. Just seems no less a project than what we have and I'm sick of projects.

Jarrett Lee struggled to read defenses as much as any QB I can remember, even as a 5th year senior. Yet everybody wanted Connor Mitch, who IMO is basically a Lee clone: never under center in high school, threw mainly to one receiver, etc.

Yeah, Miles record of developing projects is not comforting.

Are you telling me JaMarcus Russell didn't pan out at LSU? The guy was the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft, won a BCS bowl game, ranks second all time at LSU in career completion percentages and touchdown passes but still was a "project" player who you wouldn't take? Ridiculous.

You're seriously going to talk about Russell in the same breath as Jefferson?
There is no doubt he still had room for improvement as a junior but my God some people have some incredibly skewed and wrong opinions on Russell.
