Do you know how many of the NFL’s starting quarterbacks started only one season in college?

If you answered zero, you would be correct (Cam Newton started one full season in JUCO and won a championship there too).

The best thing for Mitch is to come back to Carolina. Both ESPN draft experts think so. There are probably a lot of GM’s who think so too. If he continues what he did this season, he will be better prepared to play in the pros.

This is beyond what is best for North Carolina, it is what is best for Mitch. And what is best for Mitch is another season of seasoning in college. If he stays and does well he will probably be the number one pick next season.

Negatives: He could get injured and lose money and ranking. He could have a bad season and lose money and ranking. He plays another year without making a dime for himself.

These are all just options. Anything can still happen between now and decision day on January 18th. Even then a lot can change as there are more quarterback needs than quarterbacks to fill them.

In the end Mitch needs to do what is best for Mitch. Whether that is at UNC or in the Pros, we all need to wish him the best and thank him for being a Tar Heel.
