Logic Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Never pay running backs....UNLESS they’re generational talents like Christian McCaffrey. Is Mixon on that level? We shall see. The Bills most expensive RB is Taiwan Jones. Draft a 3rd round running back every three years. Rinse and repeat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 LOL They had to counter-balance making the right move and drafting Burrow with a an equally horrible move and pay a troubled RB $12M/year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Uhhh Ok Seems a bit pricey for just a good RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another afc team making stupid decisions Ravens and Steelers ( if Ben stays healthy) will battle it out for the AFCN. The Bengals at best will be 3rd in that division and probably last.

I shouldn't have gone all Captain Obvious but the battle between the Ravens and Steelers is always fun to watch.

eball Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Gotta wonder when teams will learn to stop paying RBs big extensions. They rarely work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as teams like the Bengals, Browns, and Dolphins exist, it will keep happening. I just hope it is safe to finally leave us off that list.

I think the browns may make it a 3 team race if Stefanski Isn’t terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I’m sure there will be a lot of “I’m done with the NFL” after this extension! stiff like this makes you wonder if karma is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Mixon to me is just a guy that’s there. He does the job, but I forget he’s still in the league. 12 mil seems a bit much to me. I agree with the drafting and rotating RB method unless you find a top 5 game changer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see him as close to the 5th (total contract value) or 6th (AAV) best back in the league though. Bengals gotta Bengal I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I agree with not overpaying RBs and instead just recycling them through the draft, but I think folks in this thread are overlooking Mixon. Per ESPN... He's one of four RBs with at least 1,400 yards from scrimmage in both of the last two years (Zeke, McCaffrey, Saquon) 5th in the NFL in yards after contact since his rookie season in 2017 Has the league's 7th-most rushing yards since the start of the 2018 season Has not fumbled on 593 touches since 2018 And this is on a team with one of the worst OLs in the league.
