You have to use both. You come up with a preliminary opinion with your eyes and validate it with data. When there is a mismatch between the two, you've gone wrong somewhere. Either A) you have a bad dataset OR B) your "eye test" is wrong. In this case, Mixon neither converts short yardage situations more often or breaks tackles more often. Perine is superior in both categories. That poses a big problem to your assessment between the two and one play in the Super Bowl, regardless of your emotional attachment, doesn't change that.

Well to begin, that means absolutely nothing. His opinion is no different than yours. On top of that...has he? Or has he only mentioned that Mixon is "powerful enough"? Goodberry mentions Mixon being powerful here but says nothing of comparing the two. Here is a tweet where Goodberry is talking about how awful he is at breaking tackles and wants to be told how Mixon is still good.
I don't think he has the same opinion as you.
