If he had about 2-3 more yards per catch, he'd be a pretty mean slot receiver, but nobody wants an 8-yard-per-catch receiver, and they sure don't want to use the 8th overall pick on them.

I've never been shy getting out my opinion that Mixon has been a letdown. He has shown a little shake, but he's a 230lb RB. He needs to be going N-S and running through arm tackles. First Hill, now Mixon, I am starting to believe either they scout guys like this, or they are coaching them to be like this.

One thing Jeremy Hill and Joe Mixon have in common--When they get even minimal blocking, they gain yards.  Barry Sanders was only born once.  And I'm not sure he could have done anything for most of the season behind this line.

Mostly a case of people wanting to ***** about things and pat themselves on the back for being harsh critics.

McCaffrey was drafted to be exactly what he is.  What an awful thing a low risk 8 yards on first down is.  Or second or third.
