Heck at least AJ had a certain playoff win against the steelers ripped from his grasp with Burfict and Pacman's baffoonery as his litmus test. 

Yet curious about Evans as well because I'm on record all over this board in off season saying to move on from Mixon after this season if not now. But seems his cap hit was big this year. The funny thing is not one single person on this board agreed with this in the off season. Now they want to crucify the guy.    

But don't want to risk any games to find out how good Evans is yet unless the coaches think he has earned it.  There will be some garbage time eventually he will get him into the game or somebody will go on concussion protocol or get dinged and force him in and then we can see exactly what he offers. 

We need to know because if he cant cut it one needs to be drafted, which is the avenue I believe will be followed. Yet think Mixon is still signed next year as well so brace yourself in case Zac sees it differently than me and does not release or trade him.  

I've always been a Mixon fan, but he's not impressive to me anymore.

He might pick it up and get things going late. 

I still don't like the fact that he doesn't scare a defense because he hasn't been speedy, elusive, powerful, or agile.

If someone wants to feed me crow later... fine.  I'll take it.  He just is being very meh.

Going into this season the main thing I was looking forward to seeing was what Mixon could actually do with a much improved line.

Things seem to be gelling in that direction so maybe hope is not lost.

I'd just love to see Mixon rip off a huge run to prove me wrong.

It sure AF seems like a lifetime since he has.
