He never threw the ball at high volume but he was pretty much always effective moving the chains and getting in the end zone when he got a chance.
Mitchell wanted to play QB. Taking your best player off the field seems like a really bad idea
I don't disagree. But there were plenty of times we could have used a little jolt, threw a different look to a defense on a play or two, and we never did that...even though it was something Campbell talked quite a bit about doing last summer.
This. It wouldn’t have made much of a difference had he got several catches or runs in sweeps or in the slot. If he wanted to play QB he unfortunately needs to find a new home.
If he wants to play QB, then he has to leave. Don't blame him at all. I will cheer for him wherever he goes.
ISU transfer QBs haven’t had best luck at their next stops
Rohach barely played at Buffalo
Noland barely played at NDSU
Moore did not play for South Dakota
Park played a lot but horribly for a bad D2 team

Re-al Mitchell will be one of the best "what if's" in Iowa State folklore!
The people that think Brock is a NFL QB are the same that thought Lindell was destined for the NBA.
Anybody else think that his post makes it seem like he is guy kind of taking shots at the coaching staff?
It's one of the few things I've been disappointed about Campbell and his staff, their occasional lack of creativity, or not willing to be unconventional.
Had it not been for Park's issues, Lanning probably never plays at QB like he did. I get you want your best MLB on the field as much as possible, but it was obvious, after he was forced to play QB, that there was big advantage to getting the ball on his hands. They had a whole off-season to put packages together, but didn't do it until they had to. Not to mention, it was a great national story.
There were certainly instances last season when Purdy was not playing well at all, and it might have been beneficial for the offense to try to get a spark from Mitchell, and beneficial for Purdy to compose himself and see things from the sideline.
I wish him the best. Great young man.
This may be a new "problem" with more talent cconsistaly coming in. I'd imagine he didn't want to switch positions, otherwise he may have found the field more.
It'll be interesting to see where he goes (drop level to play or sit out). I wonder if he enrolled for the spring? Would have been better to maybe get into another schools spring ball rotation if he didn't.

I agree we really dropped the ball with Re'al. There were plenty of opportunities for him to play and prove himself in game action and for whatever reason we never gave him a shot. Maybe fear or creating a QB controversy I'm not sure. Coach Campbell said players, formations, plays when he first got here. We found a way for Lanning to play on offense. There had to be more ways to get Re'Al involved best of luck to him hopefully he becomes Russell Wilson somewhere else
Re-al Mitchell is not better than Brock Purdy. So how could Re-al be our best player? He isn’t.
