the case. Zeke is an upgrade over Joe in pass protection and has better vision, but that is it. Joe is the better runner, faster, more explosive,
better pass catcher and playmaker overall etc.
If Dalton Risner is still out there I would make a play for him though over our backup Guards.
I agree Zeke at this point in his career is not better than Mixon outside of what you already discussed. I think it's closer than some think though. They were both really close on a lot of metrics such as broken tackle percentage, ypc, yards over expected, long runs, ect. The rankings of those don't make either look good either.
Up until the last week there were plenty of backs though who were as good or better who signed for half of what Mixon makes. That's the frustrating part
