Why is Joe Mixon under appreciated?

I'm just saying for whatever reasons? He, as the saying goes, has "taken plays off". There have been plays where he doesn't take what's given, he's looking for the homerun. There's many plays when he seems to go down very easily. 

Has it been because he's pissed JB keeps changing out of runs on RPO's ? I dunno Has it been because he knows the gameplan doesn't involve running much ? I dunno Has it been because he's been dinged up ? I dunno Has he been pissed at Oline for him getting killed by 3 defenders meeting him in the backfield ? I dunno

But it just sure seems he's running much harder here latley

Well, that's fine if you feel that way, maybe you're seeing something I'm not, that's why I asked for video.

And I wasn't calling you out, I'm asking ANYONE. I've read this ''trying harder" comment by multiple posters and I have no idea where this is coming from.
