That's too bad for a Patriot guy that had a David Givens type trajectory written on him. We could have used him for sure. Good luck on rehab and look forward to seeing him back next year.
But at this point I have my doubts Mitchell could have made a 2016 type impact in the remaining 2017 season. 2016 was his raison detre year but one year doesn't establish oneself concretely. He's just missed too much time this year for a skill position player only really 1 year established. I could be wrong but mid November for his first meaningful route and pass catching has me skeptical he would be targeted much (if he came back in November and started racking up catches? He's better than David Givens trajectory and we've struck gold).
Targets are not thin for Brady. Yes he's missing his top target and we all know it is showing. But nonetheless decent targets are there. White, Gronk, DA, Cooks, Hogan (get Lewis the ball in some space a few times!)....is a MUCH better group than some years (recall we actually needed/had to rely on....ummm.....what's his damn name that we drafted 4(5?) years ago but he never could stay on the field or get it going). Plus I keep hoping that Dorsett is going to be a contributor. I see it in him, it is just a matter of if Dorsett can show Brady he not only has it but can do it consistently (Brady and BB just don't take to guys who can't be consistent).
