Perine is better than Mixon

Now, it very well could be that Joe's ankle was worse than they let on. If that's the case, rest him until it's 100%, because we don't need him to be successful, and we don't need him out there less than full speed.

Credit to Perine for three passing touchdowns. Nobody has argued that he's not a good option in those situations.  But you can't argue that "numbers don't lie" and then act like Mixon had some big letdown in that game compared to Perine.

And it hasn't been just one good game.  He also had 5+ ypc games against the Ravens and the Saints.  

I don't have a problem with evaluating Mixon's contract after the season.  But replacing a player who has done everything asked of him and performed when he's had the opportunity would have a negative impact on this locker room culture.
