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.  

Mixon brings an ability to catch the ball deeper down the field that Perine doesnt bring. Both are very capable on screens and out of the backfield, but Mixon brings that downfield element as well.
