Barkley vs Mixon

Re: Barkley vs Mixon
I'm with you in regards to Gio. I'm going off of Mixon based on three full games and highlight tapes from each week. I own him in a few leagues and the disappointment I have in my 2017 drafting skills is very real. He can still turn it around, he certainly has the physical profile to do so. But he's dropped for me. Last year I considered him around Fournette/CMC/Cook. Now I'm not so sure, plus Hunt and Kamara leaped him.Goddard wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 9:58 amI like your avi, so I'll cut you some slack...but Stewart and Gallman are nowhere near as good as Gio.

Re: Barkley vs Mixon
I have a hard time believing any one that owns Mixon would turn down a trade offer that would get them the 1.01 for Mixon straight up. I'm sure the response would be they would make the trade and flip the 1.01 for more but still...
1.01/Barkley > Mixon
1.01/Barkley > Mixon

Re: Barkley vs Mixon
I watched Mixons tape. He is def physically gifted, but he reads holes about as good as me when I played football which isn’t very good. Barkley easy.
Re: Barkley vs Mixon
In his defense his YPC rose dramatically towards the end of the year as the team as a whole improved. Gio's stats are inflated because of minimal carries and got a decent workload right when the Bengals got some life on offense. RB's are so dependent on their teams O-line that sometimes its hard to fault bad performances. I remember not too long ago everyone was ready to write Gurley off saying how inefficient he was, many saying it was his fault just as much as the O-lines. I'm not saying Mixon is the next gurley but its hard to disagree that the Bengals had one of the worst O-lines in the NFL last year and they spent a 1st round pick and went at it in FA. I think Mixon is extremely talented and will turn it around.usgojoox wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 12:44 pmI'm with you in regards to Gio.

Re: Barkley vs Mixon
I am higher on Barkley (traded a small fortune to get that 1.01 pick) but also have been high on Mixon since a preseason game when watching him juke Josh Norman and leave the corner on his heels, and have liked what I've seen since. I traded Stefon Diggs to get Mixon (a fair trade with a team thirsty for WR talent). I think there is some recency bias causing unrealistic rookie RB expectations after the fast rookie starts these past two years of Kareem Hunt and Ezekiel Elliott, but those two are outliers, not the norm. RBs usually take more than a rookie season to hit their pro stride and that the Bengals let Jeremy Hill go tells us that the team at least believes in Mixon going forward. Like 13, I am optimistic and eager to see Mixon evolve beyond the expectations of many.lukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 10:09 pm I watched almost every single touch of his from last year. I feel more confident saying he is a future stud than any other player in the NFL (barring players who have already posted studly seasons of course). His talent is in the same realm as Bell. I do NOT say that lightly.
