Too many times I've watched him dance around, rather than hitting the quick hole for all it's worth. Too many times I've watched him go down on first contact. Too many times I've watched him struggle to understand when to make that cut on the stretch play. In my opinion, it's time to move on at the RB position. We have Brown who can provide some excitement, it's time to draft another sledgehammer.
I obviously appreciate what Mixon has done here on multiple levels that's why I will always look at him in a positive light. I also think we need to get more dynamic in the running game. I'm for keeping Mixon this year. But only really because what we save 6 mil by cutting him and would almost certainly need a free agent that would cut into that savings. Then it would drive up the RB need for the draft. I say keep Mixon and still keep an open mind to drafting a RB if the opportunity presents itself. But get more dynamic by the rotation and the way we use our runningbacks. Heck you could keep Mixon thru the draft and see what the market looks like after the draft. Does anybody honestly think either Mike Brown eats a 3 mil dollar loss by cutting Mixon or spends that 6 mill savings?
