Jesus, settle down. Albert Pujols strikes out (occasionally) and Kobe Bryant has bad shooting nights once in a while. NO, I'm not putting Mitchell anywhere near the class of those guys, but EVERYONE has a bad game. Not some people — EVERYONE. It might be worth recalling that he also had some good games last year, and there is a reason a lot of folks were optimistic Mitchell will have a good year this season. Nobody is calling him the next Colt Brennan, but maybe the words of QBs coach Dan Morrison (whose track record indicates he knows a hell of a lot more than anyone on this board) should be read again:
"He has a better grasp of where things are, so his decisions are faster, and through all of that - and this is a good thing, actually - he still has things to learn, and he still has decisions to make more correctly than he's making them right now. He's still not as consistent with the ball coming out of his hand as he will become, so there's still room to grow. There's still times when the ball will come out and the ball will go to the feet of a receiver, or it will sail high, but he's starting to be able to understand why that happens."
Let the guy develop. He has talent. Support him as he leads our offense.
