Mixon had better get productive this year, I can't understand why he isn't getting a lot more shade thrown his way from fans. The guys signed a contract and spent 10 games on the sideline with "undisclosed injury" while our offense and rookie QB floundered and/or got crushed/injured for real. I could see fans being ok with a guy being injured if he's carted off the field against his will, but the whole day-to-day stuff with Mixon and Green last year while Burrow struggled could have caused a riot.
And maybe I'm being too dramatic, but this has some troubling parallels to the Jeremy Hill rise and fall. We blame coaches for "not using him right" or "refusing to use him" and we blame his lack of production on "not getting enough touches to build up a rhythm" and so on and so forth. Maybe everything goes great this year and I'm just being pessimistic, but he's shown that he can sit out games, get pissy with fans, blame others etc. Get productive or it could get ugly.
