Okay it's clear that you've come around on Mitchell, nobody can dispute that. However, as to your first statement, I was afraid he'd have trouble in his frosh debut, and he did. I agree he showed improvement in his second game against a d-2 team, but I'd draw the line far short of "played remarkably well" after two games. I look for continued improvement, which may yet lead him to be a quality quarterback, even as a freshman.
As to your second statement, you've already stated the converse, that there is reason to believe that Willis would have done worse:

I do not agree with this assessment.
