Did you know our line was abysmal last year...so lumping in last year's results is kinda misleading?
Did you know that Mixon has a 96 yard game and a 95 yard game? Is that why you made 100 yards the cut off?
Since Lazor switched the run blocking scheme last year, Mixon has had 15+ carries 4 times. The results:

23 carries - 114 yards - 1 TD
18 carries - 96 yards
17 carries - 95 yards - 1 TD
21 carries - 84 yards

Averaged out to a full 16 game schedule, this would be 316 carries, 1556 yards and 8 TDs. 

Did you know that some have been making Mixon out to be an elite running back already? (he isn't, yet)

Did you also know that some of those folks implied that Dalton and the offense won't be nearly as good without that eliteness of Mixon?

If Dalton is as good as you and others think, then missing Mixon shouldn't matter that much. Personally I think Dalton is good enough to run this offense with Gio and should score just as much with AJ, Eifert, and Boyd.

ps. I used 100 yards because that is a cut off number for running backs, and used in official NFL historical records.
