That's a very specific stat to fit a very specific agenda.
There's a whole lot more to market value than how many back-to-back 1,100 yard seasons a player has or is coming off of. For example, someone might dig a little deeper and see that one of those seasons at 4.1 YPC, which is absolutey terrible. Someone might also look at touchdowns, production in the pass game, team performance, etc.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm of the position we paid Mixon too much money and we'd be better off having not have done that deal. I said so as much at the time. Clearly you're of the belief that he is indeed worth a 4 year 48 million dollar extension. To each their own.
