There’s absolutely zero evidence he will be better than Mixon. Mixon just signed a 3 year 27 million dollar contract with 13 million guaranteed. He made out like a bandit. Moss meanwhile will make an avg. of 4 million a year. Let’s don’t get carried away that Moss is some great improvement until he proves it. We will find out about Mixon as he will have better run blocking. When he has a great year…. The pundits will say he just wasn’t trying here

I think this is an odd position to take.

One one hand, you say Zack Moss has been what he has been.... on the other, you say Joe Mixon is NOT what he has been.... which is a plodding, 4 yard per carry back who is not at all a threat to break a big run or gash defenses.

Zack Moss doesn't have to be an improvement over Mixon. He just has to be the same (and pass block better) while Brown gets platooned into the mix more.

I don't see why Bengals fans think that isn't possible for Moss to do, or a good thing for the offense as a whole.
