Mixon has had 1 great year, 1 okay year, 2 terrible years, and doesn't have homerun ability (Jacksonville last year was actually his first CAREER rushing TD of 20+ yards, it took over 3 years). He's also missed multiple games in 3 of his 4 years. The other two guys are a backup who should probably be a FB and an unknown quantity late round pick rookie.

Agreed.  It's hard to judge because we're dealing with a number of variables with the line and Mixon's health.  Mixon getting the big contract and then playing 6 games and now going into his 5th year makes it easy to put him into the "show me" category for the time being.  Maybe he turns it around this year and maybe he doesn't and we sit and wonder what could have been if he had a line during his prime years. 

At least we aren't talking about Jeremy Hill and his low YPC and the solution being to give him a buttload of carries so he can "get a rhythm going." Great, so all we have to do is let him run for 50 yards on 25 carries and THEN he will get rolling. Hope Dalton can convert 100% of his 3rd and long tries!
