I think we've not seen Mixon's best quite yet. Not only is he a great rb, but I think his leadership and spirit on the team is also worth keeping him here. He's a team-first player, and he bleeds orange and black. Let's see how we strengthen the o-line this offseason, and then let's see how defenses account for Burrow throws with a threat like Mixon in the backfield.

Why do you claim he has "underperformed"? Over the last three years Mixon is 9th in rushing yards despite missing 11 games. 7th in yards per game.
Why do you say it is "rare" when he performs. Over the last three years he is 8th in the league with nine 100-yard rushing games (again, despite missing 11 games)
And are you really going to claim that it is the O-line making Mixon look good with the Bengals instead of it being "just him"?
