He's been on some bad teams and that factors in no matter how you spin it. But, as you point out his passing game production hasn't been great and to again be fair there's a lot of factors there.

All things considered I'm with you. If they offer him top 8 money he should be happy. 

Another pretty good RB for the Bengals also played on some crappy teams.  Corey Dillon for quite some time, WAS the only reason to watch the Bengals.

'97   7-9    1129 yds  10 TD  4.8 avg    Rec.  259 yds
'98   3-13   1130        4        4.3                  178       1 TD
'99   4-12   1200        5        4.6                  290       1

Just for comparison, Dillon also played on the only other Bengals team to go 2-14

'02   2-14   1311       7         4.2                  298


At this point in his career, Joe is on par with Corey for overall productivity.  The only decided edge to Dillon was the ability to take it to the house, with the home run ball.  So far, Mixon's best run was for 51 yds, and by this time in Dillon's career, he already had runs of 75 and 66 yards to his credit.  (career long of 96)
