The point is, we didn't put all of our eggs in just Robert Lane. We kept recruiting. First with Matt Flynn then with JaMarcus. It was trying to get the best talent together, convince the QBs that were receptive, and then let the competition play itself out.

Indeed, that is the point. Made in several different ways.

We're all saying similar in different ways AND we've seen the results from "the guy" style of recruiting. Within reason, the rankings shouldn't say who priorities are. Especially QBs considering the productivity of non-transfer QBs since JJ/Lee.

I'm NOT saying that 3* should take the 5*'s spot. I'm saying, as a recruit, that low 5* and high 4* should be interchangeable for the most part. They are too close in ranking and evaluation to say FOR SURE that the 5* is going to be better than the 4*. It's somewhat of a crapshoot, and you're still better off with the high 4* than nothing.
