Yes, because there are more negatives than positives in my opinion. When we discuss a player and analyze their ability, that can happen sometimes. You and I obviously have a disconnect of how good Mixon actually is and that is fine. I'm not saying he is devoid of value, just that the value he brings is replacement level. This is especially true when you factor in his contract.
Quote:We are a Passing team first, therefore our RB needs to complement that. The best way for Mixon to improve is be a 3rd down back.
Something he has not been able to do through his first six years in the NFL. Maybe the 7th is the charm? Genuinely, though, Mixon is a good receiving back. He still struggles with some of the things that I have mentioned like the ability to make plays in space/lack of speed but he has good, reliable hands.
