Why is Joe Mixon under appreciated?

Emmitt Smith was .5 higher than the league average of that time of 3.9. 
Mixon's 4.1 is .2 LOWER than the league average of 4.3 of that time.

Emmitt also ran behind an above average OL for most of his career and had legendary FB Daryl Johnston paving the way for him.
Kinda hard to compare apples to oranges. Mixon is NOT Emmitt. 

if you want to compare him to past players, then pick a year and look at the RB's that finished the year ranked in the 8-15 area. He's very comparable in stats/YPC to most of those guys.
