Why is Joe Mixon under appreciated?

Barry, Emmit, Adrian Peterson, all generational talents. Mixon is not on that level so trying to compare him to those kinda guys is embarrassing to them.
But ask Barry if he'd rather Run then Shake or Shake in the backfield then Run. Everyone knows Barry had some big gains frequently but EVERYONE remembers him Juking guys in the backfield, why? because his OL was that bad.

Also i have no idea where people seem to think he has no stiff arm. He can and has a pretty good one. We just saw it this past weekend when he caught a screen and stiff armed a guy and got another 7ish yards.
