It's not his fault their is a lack of team success while here. There's been plenty good leaders on bad teams. I'm disappointed in the shot taken at his leadership using that argument.
The social media presence likely isn't a big deal either for everyone under 30. It's that generation and that's just going to be athletes platforms.
Mixon has been great while here, and if there is any doubt of his extension there's no reason to point to leadership. Not with legit arguments to be made about paying rb's, oline making rb or rb making oline, how long is there nfl lifespan, and how prevalent they are in the draft (late if you have the oline).

This entire post is spot on. Especially the social media thing. Stuff like that, combined with his past, and I just honestly feel like some don’t care for the guy (not the player). Whether they preface their posts bashing him with “look I like Mixon but” or not...
I can get pushed around a bit and can change my mind, I get your guy's opinion's on Mixon big time.
He has been our best player on our team arguably the last few years. Gotta agree.
Let's pay the man and build a good O-line around him is definitely my thought as well.
Use Mixon in the passing game more and I think he could be one of the most dynamic players in the NFL.
He is THAT talented.
