Just my opinions, I guess.

And, I also don't see it as an issue of trust (responding to earlier criticisms) because I would like to think that if any of SG1 was in trouble, that their teammates would feel the need to go help even if they had the entire Air Force on the job. And, that what would stop them wouldn't be simply trusting other people to handle it (even if you do trust them) but circumstances like understanding that you really can't help, or having a mission or a problem that you can't get out of (then, they'd worry about the other person, which still doesn't imply a lack of trust in the people who can go help).
I also don't see evidence that his teammates don't trust him. I was surprised when I read that MS thinks Daniel doesn't trust Mitchell, because that's not what I saw in his performance. I see them as responding to specific actions, to acknowledging that he can be impulsive, and not always liking that (and Sam and Daniel's reactions at the end of Off the Grid, I saw as more being in a bad mood. I think they would have rolled their eyes at anyone who was peppy, because they felt so grouchy after all the trouble they had been in), but not that they don't trust or respect him. At least, from what I see.
