Perine is better than Mixon

[WeezyBengal]

I think all of the "pro Perine" people's perspectives are a bit skewed.

The chunk of Perine's carries have come AFTER the switch to the gap run scheme. He never had to play behind this OL when they were plodding trying to make the wide zone scheme happen...so there was never really an opportunity for him to look bad.

There's a reason Mixon has looked better since the switch to the gap scheme. Couple that with the bye week to get his ankle right and it's not really fair to compare Mixon and Perine. Perine has been set up for success since he's taken over...Mixon had to deal with the mess of the OL through the first half of the season.

I think a lot of us forget just how explosive Mixon can be. Yes, Perine is a great power guy who can get 8-9 yards, but Mixon is a guy that can rip off a 40 yarder in both the run and pass game. No way in hell I am giving up on Mixon unless he continues to struggle.
