This reminds me of 09 when we brought in Larry Johnson. Can't hurt

Y'all just glossing over the fact they got rid of Mixon because they wanted a better pass blocker. Mixon racked up the yards by having huge games here and there, but he got stuffed A Lot!

That, and it seemed the turf monster got him anytime he had a chance at a big run.

"UNBREAKABLE! NEVER HURT! Ignore all the missed games, that'd just be nitpicking!"

So he missed 16 out of 119 games? Yeah that's awful. Again lets compare that to almost any starting RB. 

Compare to any other starting RB during a 5-8 year span. 

So yeah nit picking 

Lmao look at the below injury for Moss. Cant make this stuff up.

Nov 7, 2018 Non-NFL Knee Meniscus Tear Moss suffered a season-ending knee injury while climbing into bed

And he had bad vision a lot where he would have an open hole and instead run into Defenders. Don't miss those days and he would be 
doing the same thing this year if he was still around. I like Chase Brown's explosiveness much more and if Khalil Herbert can get comfortable
in the Offense and Fournette can bring some physicality and stability with some ball security we could be in a good spot at RB.

Cannot leave out the infamous turf monster that plagued Mixon.

We are signing FA RB Gary Brightwell to the PS instead.

16 out of 115, and again, another half dozen leaving mid-game due to injury.

So yes, he missed 14% of the games, and didn't play or finish in 19% of them. If you're not playing or finishing nearly 1 in every 5 games, it's not Eifert level glass, but bragging about "never getting hurt" is just objectively wrong.

Joe Mixon is a Houston Texan, let it go.

I forgot about Larry Johnson, that's fair.

They just signed some RB named Gary Brightwell to their PS.
