Why is Joe Mixon under appreciated?

But let's just say yes Perine was more effective here his running style better suited our scheme for whatever reason. Mixon has the higher potential than Perine and has hit a higher ceiling than Perine. It would make sense to focus on getting Mixon in a scheme that suits him more. Why did we not sign Perine? Why did he get such a cheap contract from the Broncos?

Nonsense, just because it's 3rd and 2 does not mean he needs to fall down at exactly 2.01 yards..  The only way his average really takes a hit it when they try 3 times to slam it in at the goal line, and in that case he should have made it on the first try.
