Did someone actually say Mixon because of durability?
Personally I don't care who's the starter; I just hope we use them both and that Joe can remain healthy.
Why do you constantly talk about Mixon as if he is fragile? He missed 3 games last season, and didn't miss any games his 2 years at Oklahoma. He's only been out due to concussion and an ankle.
Gio has torn his ACL twice (one in college, once in NFL), 2 concussions, and a few smaller hip and knee injuries.
What am I missing here?
I don't think it's speculation btw. Part of the RB position is to have a build that's able to handle punishment and break tackles. Joe combines all the physical tools with a build that is able to handle the rigors of the position.
