Cost them the game. Period
From what I remember, he also had another holding call that cost the Colts a first down in addition to his other two bonehead plays. What's the saying? A couple of plays don't determine the outcome..Maybe not, but just one of those scoring plays were needed badly. I didn't like their play calling at all as they abandoned what got them to 3-0. Only in the 4th did they start to run the ball. The Colts played well enough to win the game today, but it's the NFL, anything can happen and it did today.

I'm just seeing the play. Man that was bad. It will live on on blooper reels for an eternity. Ha ha

Celebrate after you cross goaline.
He could of seen more playing time when Pierce comes back if not for that dumbass fumble.
I'm stashing him. Im in a deep bench league...
If he stopsvhis mistakes,he could be something second half of year if injuries occurred.

-The difference between the Colts and Rams today is that 1 TD Mitchell fumbled away after an amazing play
Mitchell had a major hand in the Colts losing the football game yesterday but he flashed talent that man believe is waiting to explode with more targets
The catch between double coverage and then a Madden Spin move to run up along the sidelines for 74 yds when he needed 75 yds, thrilling play to watch

Been a long time since I've seen a WR take not 1, but 2 TDs off the table.

He wasn’t celebrating. If you watch the play he was attempting to hold the ball out to cross the line and it slipped out of his hand. Much like players do when going out of bounds and extend the ball closer to the first down marker. At least that’s what it looked like to me. I haven’t caught up to what Mitchell said.

Just saw it, and I'm seeing it the same way as @JohnnyU
Truthfully, I was hoping to see a cocky WR blow the game on a premature TD celebration, but that's not what I saw and I feel bad for him. Trying to keep his balance on the sideline and reached to get it across. Not a good idea, but purely instinctive based on the attempted tackle and trying to get it in.
Justin Jefferson had one in Philly last season or the year before that was less spectacular, but similar. Temptation of the endzone was too much. Costs them a possession inside the 1.

He could see nobody was near him. He FK'D up trying to celebrate.
JohnnyU

I respectfully disagree. Unless Mitchell has said something to the contrary, he was just trying to extend the ball over the ez line and it left his hand.
Lansdowne

I believe he was trying to extend it out to cross the goal line rather than trying to be cocky. Problem was he looked back over his shoulder and panicked and probably thought the defenders were closer than they actually were. Once he made it to the 5 yard line he had to know he was in the clear. Just a bad move all around. Sucks because I really like him and want him to be a thing in this league, but he's not doing himself any favors with the mistakes between the fumble and the hold. It was the difference between victory and defeat.
JohnnyU

You could tell it really messed him up mentally when he was walking around behind the huddle instead of huddling up with his teammates. I hope he isn’t beyond repair.
It doesn't matter but I think he was in the midst of a Deion Sanders style reach forward with swagger - too close to the EZ, so no time for full high-stepping with the other hand on the helmet. I realize that Deion didn't always reach the ball forward.
He was probably just doing the ball reach part only -- in celebration mode.

Can have all the athletic ability in the world, but if you have empty space between your ears, you won't see the field much. I recall Reggie Wayne gushing about this kid in OTAs and camp, etc...and I just didn't see it the same way. He was dropping passes, running bad routes (I believe that was showcased in pre-season). He'd make a great catch/play, then do something boneheaded or drop a gimme pass. I'm willing to forgive him for his fumble as long as he wasn't trying to showboat...but it's hard to swallow THAT and his holding call that negated JTs TD run. He just can't be trusted for anything more than a handful of routes. Or use him as a decoy.

I picked him up last week with Pierces concussion to see if he could have good game and take job from Pierce possibly.
Not with that fumble n holding call he won't.
Thinking Mitchell is one of those year 3 breakout wrs next year. He's not ready yet.

Even AD Mitchell's momma knows he was about to launch into some advanced choreography when he dropped that ball.

Only in the sense so they did not need to give up more draft capital to get Sauce.

Has potential and talent to be the next Rashee Rice. But he needs to clear his headspace. Dude is dumb as dirt.

As someone who has him in dynasty, I’m hoping he can step up quickly. It rarely works that way with young WRs like Mitchell though. Has to learn a new playbook halfway into his second season in the league, and even though the guys ahead of him are underwhelming aside from Wilson, they’re veterans and probably will be more trusted. Mitchell at this stage is still a project, though one with much better target opportunity now.

definitely has an opportunity to carve out a significant role.....Jets WR room is horrific besides GW - solid lotto ticket.
JohnnyU

I thought Malachi Corley had a good opportunity to carve out a significant role. Mitchell has deficiencies with potental, just as Corley did. We shall see.
JohnnyU

I wouldn't have done that. The Jets passing offense can't be trusted and neither can Mitchell. I'd rather just gamble on Pearsall.
Birdie048

Redraft. Not dynasty.
If Dynasty I agree Pearsall.
But for WR4-5 in a start 2 & 2 flex after losing Nabers, JReed, Tyrek Hill plus Burrows, survival is key. At 5-4 and 1 out of playoffs so it is a “now need”.

Mitchell is apparently a very good route runner and is often open, but had or has (don’t quote me) an issue in practice with drops, general trust, and the WR depth in Indianapolis.
I like the player the Jets got. A lot.
I still don’t know how I feel about the trade for the Jets. Not thrilled, but happy that Gardner gets to go to an ascendant team. I just wonder with ownership and other weird things how ascendant the Colts will be and for how long.

"Looks like a true X receiver" and PLAYS like a true X receiver are two very different things.

AND having Fields throwing the ball to him
Footballdaz
Footballguy
Pretty sure Indy knows he's a great athletic athelete...BUT, doesn't have the greatest football IQ and hands..
He's not good at tracking the ball.
With Fields at QB,it's not a good combo.

I wouldn't laugh at this. Perhaps the ten-cent head/inconsistency thing is youth or something fleeting and not totally endemic to his character. I don't know. Sauce is going to play well. I can almost say it with as much certainty as both position and my knowledge will allow. Everything I've heard out of Sauce's mouth is high-character guy stuff. It just is. Even when he complained about the Jets and the officiating they get; it wasn't barked or screamed, but self-aware and apologetic.
I think two first round picks and Mitchell are still a freaking haul. It might not be enough in the end (especially if they're late first-round picks). I wish I had any, any faith in our owner to stay out of the way, and I hope the GM is as solid as a person needs to be to handle this situation. I don't know if he is. I think Mitchell is a "free" second or third-round value on top of it all, and I wish the Jets were a team you could see a guy like that going to and that you'd wind up saying, "they'll get the most out of him." I don't know that our organization will, and I've liked Adonai for a bit now. That said, one's money is where their mouth is and I wouldn't trade a dynasty second right now for him. I might need it for other things. Not this draft likely (?), but later in the year*.
eta* that sentence doesn't make sense but in my own head. I have an 8-1 team with needs, which I consider when I look at the four or five other best teams. I wouldn't necessarily save the pick to use on a rookie in the rookie draft, which is supposedly thin (see if that lasts), but I might try to win this year if it also helped long-term and made sense. That's where that sits right now.

That play where he dropped the ball was one of the best plays of the year by any WR before the mistake by Mitchell. The very best of Mitchell was on display up to that point. However, until the Jets figure out their QB of the future I don't look for Mitchell to be fantasy relevant, if ever. He does have issues that need correcting. I'm not saying he won't correct them either. He very well might.

If an offensive coach couldn’t bring out the best in AD what makes us think Aaron Glenn and Justin Fields can?
Crash Davis

I think the feeling some have is that he was put in the doghouse in a crowded skill position room and never recovered. With the Jets he'll get a new start and presumably far more opportunity. The offense and QB don't exactly work in his favor for sure, but it is a 2nd chance for him to show what he can do, maybe that alone sparks a revival, maybe it doesn't. I wouldn't be buying much redraft stock at all, but in dynasty he's worth a dart throw.
