The only reason he is not the feature back full time is money - sadly.  

Perine is a little more pedestrian too though.
Mixon had a RAS of 9.46 whereas Perine had just 4.94.
Perine had elite size and strength, but he ranked very low in vert, broad, speed, and agility drills.

I also view Perine as a well-rounded guy, but if he were the starter, he wouldn't ever be viewed as an above average RB in the league.
You'd want to be looking for someone more dynamic and explosive who can supplant him.
With all that said, he's still better than Mixon as a blocker and can run and catch solidly.
