Imagine him running the option with Bo Williams!
I'm saying Brock Purdy is our best player which is why Mitchell never played
Glad we agree. Re-al was not good enough to beat out Brock. That is life.
After the way last season played out, I would have been more surprised had he stayed. I do think the staff mishandled this a bit. For all Campbell's talk of getting Mitchell involved, the sum total (outside of garbage time against ULM) was what, a handful of plays? Our offense certainly could have used another dimension or wrinkle here or there.
That said, I'm not sure a more prominent role in the offense would have changed the outcome here anyway. Even if Mitchell were on the field for, to be generous, 25% of the snaps at one position or another, that still isn't the same as being a starting QB. And if that's his dream, he's unlikely to realize it in Ames. This was probably always going to be irreconcilable.
Good luck to him and I hope he blows up wherever he lands.

If you watched his portion of QB1, this was inevitable after Purdy beat him out.
Which freshman QB is here in the spring? That is a big deal because having true freshmen as your only backups worries me.
Hope so. For his own purposes he probably should have transferred after last year.
The only time he really could of been used this season was the KSU game and only because the crazy winds made passing almost impossible You generally have to be careful not to create a quarterback controversy. Qb play is a lot like kicking in that so much of it is mental. As we've seen at ISU in the past, it's pretty easy to destroy a young promising quarterback's confidence.
Ha, you made me hit "show ignored content" so I could see which of the ******** I have on ignore you were replying to. I am shocked. Not.
They screwed up by not using him in short yardage situations. Imagine if they talked him I to taking a Taysom Hill type role. He would have been dynamic!
“If Brock leaves early for the NFL”
JFC. Those who post stuff like that are stupid.

If he will only play QB, then he really had no choice but to transfer IMO.
He would be absolutely devastating at QB for Army, Navy, or Air Force. That's where he should look if I were him. He's just not a pro-style QB at all.
I just wish he would have been willing to switch positions. He'd make an awesome slot WR. I'll be very disappointed if he goes somewhere else, switches to slot WR, and excels. That's what I wanted him to be at ISU.

I have no idea, but now that I think about it... you're probably right.
Nonetheless, he'd be awesome at running the triple option with the occasional pass play mixed in.
Plus how many times over the last 10 years have we lamented not having QB play the entire season? And now we want 2 QBs to play. Fans are stupid.
Also, those option school quarterbacks are getting hit like, 40 times a game with the option. I just can’t see Mitchell’s frame being able to stand up to that.
I'm sad you had to explain this.
