not trying to repeat myself here, but...

Mixon 2021: 4.1ypc
Perine 2021: 4.5ypc

Mixon 2022: 3.9ypc
Perine 2022: 4.1ypc

so yes, Perine is better. He was better back then, and he's still better than woman beater Mixon lol

I wouldn't classify myself as a fanboy. But I am a fan of most of the players we've had. I know Mixon has been bad at times but the reason I defend him. Is I've seen it before from him and questioned him only for us to change scheme and see him be a top 5 back. So there's always that question of what unknown issues are going on. 

Did Perine have good moments here? Yes. Does he have parts of his game that are better than those of Mixons I'm sure he does. Did he have better YPC than Mixon in those years? Obviously he did I can't argue the stats. I can point out that they're are underlying issues in stats. Like a change of pace back/3rd down back does have higher YPC. That in 21' Mixon had 13 tds and they stop counting yardage once you cross the goal line. 

But all I need to say is when the lights shined the brightest on 3rd and 1 in the Superbowl Perine went down with a whimper. When you absolutely gotta have it he gave us nothing. I know it may seem that I have ill will and the fact is I don't and I would welcome him back on the team. But the point is one thing Perine doesn't have of Mixons is his power. You cannot be a #1 runningback in the NFL if your not powerful enough for short yardage and Perine is not. Alot of other good attributes.
