Mixon brings a lot of positives to the team. He's always there, works hard, great teammate and locker room leader and can produce, with volume. He's just not an efficient back, doesn't block well and he's not a threat to break a long run any time soon. His vision and contact balance isn't very good and he tends to do just enough, sporadically, to keep himself in the starting lineup because the Bengals aren't known for simply replacing guys that don't produce as much as you'd like vs expectations, if they're all of those other things. 

I think the things he brings are things the FO and coaches like. Burrow is the focal point. If Mixon were the focal point, i think there's more likelihood he would be replaced sooner.
