Difference is Dalvin Cook has been highly productive whenever he plays.
He's never had a season of less than 4.5 YPC, so the talent was never in question.
Meanwhile Mixon has only had 1 season of over 4.1 YPC and he's on his 2nd season of 3.6 YPC or less. (Not even mentioning that after 12 games in 2019, he was at 3.5 YPC). Also while his injuries before now haven't been as serious as Cook's Mixon also has been hurt and missed multiple games in 3/4 seasons.
It's bad enough to overlook one red flag when giving a big contract. Two is just reckless.
