Etienne is averaging 1.9 ypc more than Robinson in Jax. Even Stephenson in NE is averaging .6 ypc more than Harris.
You need a back that can average 4.5+ over 250+ carries. I don't believe name or type matters. Just get a guy that can get those numbers, minimum. Mixon has only done that once in his career. 4.9 on only 237 carries in 2018.
If Mixon averaged 4.5 over the carries in his career, his total yds would look like this, carries in parenthesis.
2017 - 801 (178)
2018 - 1067 (237) this is the year he averaged 4.9 for 1168
2019 - 1251 (278)
2020 - 536 (119) injured
2021 - 1314 (292)
2022 - 545 (121) this would make him #4 currently
4.5 ypc is an "average" number for a starting running back...maybe a little high but i don't consider .1 to .2 yds that much of a difference.
Mixon has been below average every year of his career but one. I like what the guy brings to the team but he's definitely replaceable.
