[Star Wars] Obi Wan was a terrible mentor for the person Anakin needed. Would Qui Gon Jinn have been a good enough mentor to protect Anakin from the dark side?

Yes there is a reason the duel between Maul and Qui Gon was called the duel of the fates. Had Qui Gon survived he would have been the positive father figure that Aniken needed when growing up and would have been better equipped and flexible than rigid Obi Wan to deal with Aniken's temperament.

 Unfortunately for the galaxy Qui Gon fell and Obi Wan was too young to provide that father figure Aniken needed being more of a brother figure and having less control over him than Qui Gon could have had. This is not to say Obi Wan is a bad jedi or teacher, we know he's not but he was not the right fit for Aniken as a master due to his age and inflexibility.
