There are some obvious errors in that article, so it is hard to take it seriously. First, it said a 51 yard TD was negated by the fumble, but it was 41 yards. Second, Ballard never said he would never have a QB like Luck, but said he would not have a team that was dependent on a QB who could carry the team with a Superman cape, like Luck did for three seasons. Third, he stated that the Colts have not beaten a playoff caliber team, but last I checked, Pittsburgh was in the running for a home playoff game. I won't even address his spelling of "favour".
As for Mitchell, he seemed defensive to me, with false bravado. That is not a good look, but he is a rookie, who needs to accept blame for a play that he blew (he clearly didn't handle the ball well after he caught it, which led to the DB having just enough time to sniff out the actual play). He is immature, and tried to come off as confident, and able to do what was asked, which made it look to me as if he were blaming his coach for calling a bad play, but he executed it (and our playoff hopes, in the process). I would say "get him off my team", if he were not a rookie, who might develop and mature in time.
