Perine is better than Mixon

That being said, Perine deserves more reps. I'd love to use him more in short yardage situations.

I truly think Mixon was hurt the first quarter of the season. He continually came out of games because of his ankle.

Just use each guy as the situation dictates. Mixon on early and pass catching downs. Perine on short yardage and blocking downs.

And several others are acting like they forgot that Mixon was barely averaging three yards per carry and struggling to break tackles before that five TD game. And the game he got hurt in he was averaging...2.8 yards per carry. There is plenty enough evidence that the Panthers game was an outlier - so far. I don't want Mixon benched completely, but I have long been banging the drum that Perine could replace Mixon and the change in production would hardly be noticeable. Mixon isn't a special back, he is just a fan favorite.
