Every other year he has averaged over 4 yards a carry except his rookie year where he played behind Hill I’m not “so focused on 2020”, that was a response to part of your post. The other two responses were simple responses to simple questions. I think our difference in opinion stems from you finding four yards per carry to be a good number/threshold.

Because it is. 4 yards a tote means you can hand the ball off on first down any time you want and have a very manageable 2nd down. When was the last time the Jets had a back that you felt really good about giving him the ball on first down a really high percentage of time. I didn't even feel that with Curtis most of the time.

Yards per carry is an average, not a guarantee. Mixon was 30th in the league in YPC last year. A YPC of 4.1 is fine, it’s not awful, it’s close to bad, and not particularly impressive to me in the context of playing with such a good passing offense. Mixon benefits tremendously from defenses needing to account for Chase, Higgins, and Burrow. That’s the basis of their offense, not first down runs. He’s a good back with great counting stats because he plays on an elite offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of his career. It was four years ago. Mixon’s 2018 season isn’t particularly relevant in the context of how good he is now. He had a slightly less worse year than Todd Gurley that season. Gurley is now out of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley is out of the league because he had an ACL before he was even drafted. Except for the year Mixon was drafted and 2020 where he missed major time and played injured, he has been one of the top backs. I really don't understand this thing you have trying to discredit him. Avgs 1100 yards a year even with the bad 2020 season and about 300 receiving yards a season with about an 80% catch percentage. The guy is a stud. Oh, and this season was pretty much his best, not his second season. 1200 yards and 13 TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OTHER OP! ? 7 hours ago, 32EBoozer said: 2020 being a down year was the result of Burrow blowing out his knee and Ryan Finley finishing the season. “Through the Bengals' first nine games, Burrow had been hit a total of 72 times, which was tied with Daniel Jones for the most by a rookie quarterback in his first nine games over the past 20 years. A big reason Burrow has taken so many hits is because the Bengals' offensive line has been playing below average football for nearly the entire season.” Pretty easy for a DC to figure out you want to see Ryan Finley win the game on 3rd and long. 8-9 man fronts!

I’m not “trying to discredit him”, I said he’s good. You think he’s a top five back, I don’t value a guy who gets his team mediocre YPC on high volume the same way you do in a passing league where yards per passing attempt are so much higher than yards per carry. That you think his 1205 yard on 292 carry season was better than his 1168 yard on 237 carry season I think gets to our dramatically different perspectives.

Joe W. Namath Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Are we still on this? Id take Hall and Carter over Mixon plus the other crappy backs they have any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is an average and you won't get that every carry but basically 50% of the time you are getting 4 or more. That is good enough to setup a 2nd or 3rd down play. Also, please don't play that if we take this out he sucks game. Conversely if we take out 2020, all his stats rise. As far as Carter, I don't think the addition of Hall was performance related, but more a durability thing and that Saleh probably wants to follow that 49er platoon style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In five seasons, his longest run has been 51 yards. I know he had a lot of fans the year he came out -maybe you were one of them?- but he’s really just been okay. He’s an average RB. For the Jets, I think you have it backwards again. They were a RB by committee team last year, the addition of Breece Hall gives them their own bell cow for 2022 & beyond. I really don’t have a horse in this race because when it comes to comparing the Jets to Bengals, the Bengals have proven producers and the Jets mostly just have potential. Still, I’d take Hall & MC1 over Mixon pretty much every day. It’s just interesting to see you put this particular average back on a pedestal, while every average Jet player is trash.

I'm actually very high on Hall and I liked Carter enough to draft him onto my dynasty team so I wouldn't say I think they are trash. Last season it appeared to me they leaned on Carter pretty heavily compared to our other backs and it seemed to take a toll imo. I do agree Hall has bellcow potential but I think we will see a pretty even split between he and Carter, at least for this season. As far as Mixon, I just feel he is one of the few big producers at the position and has the ability to carry an O when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
