At the same time, it's only been two weeks but I had a "I'm super disappointed" in Mixon chat with my brother tonight.

But he is great at catching out of the backfield. He spent years hyping up how he was the next Lev Bell and honestly there’s a game here and there, when they use him right, that he looks that great. I just think Ohio coaches are complete idiot morons and so there simply will never be a chance for him to reach his potential in CIN, ever.

PS. This is my 4th season on holding and hoping and getting nothing.

Okay, no it’s not, I eff’in can’t stand it.

I burned a R1P2 back in 2017 passing on Cook, CMC, and Hunt!!

He was supposed to be the best pure talent in draft that year and going to a good situation. HE SUCKS! Every year I start with thinking this is the year I see my return, but NO.

And there is no sell high, hell they use Bernard on two minute drives still. WTF is happening?! They paid him all the money and keep him on the sidelines when healthy for eff’in Bernard?!

How do I move on? Should I move on? What is the best I can expect to get for him? Do I just wait for him to have one good game and dump his bleep? My roster is correct in my signature.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

In other words, Gio is better at blocking and Purely running routes in pass situations. Other than the horrendous goal line carry where he lost 4 yards, he looks fine, offensive line simply can’t run block. It’s frustrating, Barkley had had some similar frustrations, they’re better than some RBs that out produce the hell of them.

Growing up Steelers I probably deserve this. Should have never drafted him after seeing him punch his girlfriend like that. I just don’t think Gio is *that* much better than him. Especially since when he puts up a complete game he seems to get better as it goes on and the bungles seem to win too. Idk, maybe I have a blindspot ‍♂️

He is a great receiver so it is frustrating that the Bengals don't use him more.

Sadly by the time the Bengals get the O-line and coaching issues all worked out Mixon will probably be past the point in age where people will consider him an elite dynasty asset even if he performs like one. Definitely seems like the kind of perpetual tease to flip in the offseason when everyone starts getting hyped on the "what ifs" again.
