Should Mixon get his job back

Early in the season folks were mad that Mixon wasn't getting enough carries; heck, I think Mixon even complained about it publicly.

In Benard's 2 complete games as feature back Gio has 24 carries for 139 yards (5.8 YPC)

In Mixon's 11 complete games as our feature back Joe has 150 carries for 484 yards (3.2 YPC)

So what think we going forward?

Gio is one of my favourites and I'm resigned to the fact that I'll probably spend most of his Bengals career kind of wishing he was getting more snaps  - in fact the only extended period when I was not thinking that was the 2nd half of Hill's rookie year when he was running phenomenally. 

For everyone saying he's small , that's fine but he plays tough as hell and I don't think he got enough credit for coming back from the major injury in the off season and being ready day 1.

Mixon has talent and with his great catching he was always going to be eat into Gio's snaps more than Hill.....but he's coming off a concussion and the comments he made early in the season annoyed me (yes I am bitter and hold a grudge..) so I'd be happy to see Gio get the majority of the snaps next game and see how it goes.

Either way , next year our OC (whoever that will be) has two talented backs to play with.
