Perine is better than Mixon

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

And it hasn't been just one good game.  He also had 5+ ypc games against the Ravens and the Saints.  

I don't have a problem with evaluating Mixon's contract after the season.  But replacing a player who has done everything asked of him and performed when he's had the opportunity would have a negative impact on this locker room culture.  

Even though I like Perine better in a number of ways, things do not get really tricky until after next year, cap wise. I believe Bates, Bell, Pratt, and Apple are our only FA starters. Perine our biggent bench contributor. 

None of those are break the bank type guys. Bates is the only one who thinks he is. And he already makes big money.
