Agreed, but to be fair, I was never the biggest fan of Mixon to begin with when they drafted him. And though he has produced at times, mainly last season being his best, he's still not one of my favorite Bengals.
Still though, I won't waiver that the Bengals made a mistake by not trying to upgrade the backup situation, with a hopeful new back that could replace Mixon next season if they release him (which they should if they cant come to the most team friendly new deal possible). Teams need to have two viable running backs anymore, especially with a 17 game schedule now. Just having one is not a good plan.
