Perine is better than Mixon

Remember the deep pass blowing out the Ravens to Mixon last year?  You think Perine catches that?  Be honest.  Perine has been outstanding and I love the dude for it, but saying he is better than Mixon based on four games when the offense found its balance and better blocking isn't really fair.  

Remember the Jets game? The line hadn't fully gelled at that point and Perine outperformed Mixon. 

Mixon is the more dynamic and physically talented RB, Perine is the more reliable, four yards and a cloud of dust RB. The latter seems to be working better for this offense.
