Maybe it is me but I think Mitchell looks much better this year. He seems to be more in sync with the QB-his routes seem to be at the proper depth etc. He also hasn't show those 'alligator' arms. Be patient, wide receiver is a difficult position to master. Just look at Pierce, many on this board were calling him a bust who could only run straight and fast. It was true at the time(straight and fast) but he has developed into what is damn close to a number 1.
AR wasn't the entire issue last year. Warren has made a huge impact on opening up this offense. Take away his contributions and give us what we have had the last few years at tight end and this offense doesn't scare anyone nearly as much. Talk all you want about Jones (and he has been absolutely great) but to me Warren was the key addition. This is the best thing that could happen to AR's career. He is finally getting to see and learn how a professional team feels, works and plays. We are not a fluke, no matter what happens next Sunday this team will be worth watching and rooting for all year. I did not expect this and am damn happy to be wrong.
