They were both really close on a lot of metrics such as broken tackle percentage, ypc, yards over expected, long runs, ect. The rankings of those don't make either look good either.

Up until the last week there were plenty of backs though who were as good or better who signed for half of what Mixon makes. That's the frustrating part

I think Mixon needs to be cut because of his large contract but even with saying that, Mixon is much better running the ball than Elliott.  Elliott had a better line to run behind and still struggled running the ball.  Mixon's O-line did him no favors last year with the expection of a couple of games.  One area where Elliott is better is in pass protection and that may be why we sign him.
