True, but even for games he was available the past two seasons, he'd come off the field often it seemed to split time with Gio. 

I know his first year, Gio was the better recieving back and certainly a monster at blitz pick-up but at some point don't you want to see that skill set develop in Mixon? The 3 down back that never comes off the field, is a weapon in the running and passing game and keeps a defense uneasy?

I guess that was the hype around him when he was drafted, that he was going to be this every down back that could do it all, and certainly the expectation with the extension he signed. At some point, just want to see the results. 17 games of a healthy and correctly used Mixon will have a bigger impact on this offense then Chase or any WR can.
