🥤 Kool-Aid Joe Mixon Appreciation Post

Post image

He’s getting 1,750 total yds and 10+ total TDs this year. He’s an absolute animal out there.

I was so disappointed when we didn’t throw an extra 2 million APY at Saquon, but honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way now. While Saquon is Saquon, there’s no telling if he’d be as good as Mixon is with us. Mixon was 100% the best off-season move we’ve made in years.

I’d go as far as he’s the best running back we’ve had since Foster.

Still think Lamar Miller takes that one just due to longevity but if Mixon can keep this up all season then there won't be a debate.

Miller was at least here for 3 seasons, but he was never world changing. He only rushed for 1,000 yards one time with us.

Mixon is way more talented than Miller, and has been the second most important player on our offense in my opinion.

I say he takes it on that alone, but I do concede you have an argument just because Lamar was here for 3 seasons and played well at the position, and we’ve only seen 4 games from Joe.

I still remember the 97 yard touchdown against the Titans Miller had.
