A combo of Mixon or Fournette on the goal line would add value, a rested back who is big and strong. But, if he has attitude issues, we should pass

This is a really, really interesting predicament.  We talk about wanting to win all the time.  Does anyone really believe the team is better with Gio and Mixon than with Fournette and Mixon?  And if dollars are similar?  Could Gio be the bell cow if Joe went down or didn't sign next year?  We already know that Fournette could, and has, from a team very devoid of talent.

I hate to say it, but it makes a lot of sense.  

Now, do I want to risk a hit to team chemistry by getting rid of a guy that everyone on the team loves for a potential character issue?  No, I don't.  I wouldn't do it.  But you couldn't say that it wouldn't likely make the team better.  Plus, how hard do you think Mixon would work with Fournette wanting carries?  Bit different with him behind you compared to Gio.
