According to a lot of people on here, Mixon or Perine would have been able to jump over the line from the gun because momentum plays no role in anything.

So what exactly is your point?  Why is it better for JB to be under center when we run on short yardage situations?

As I showed in the video, which you continue to ignore because visual facts kill your argument, the backers attacked the line immediately, so Perine having to pause for a split second and not having a head start momentum when he received the ball, as well as not getting to the line a split second faster, cost him the short distance that he didn't make the first down by.
