yes, he might be good, but the odds are VERY VERY heavily against it, yet how many "mix is teh best evar!" threads have we seen since the end of another terribly unproductive year for him? that's all.

The guy is a second year guy and was stuck behind Plax, we only picked him up on Nov. 20 and he was a solid contributor on specials. It probably took him a couple of weeks to download AS's 700 page playbook anyway. Based on the circumstances, I don't think he had a "terribly unproductive year". Let's not let the pendulum swing too far the other way and make this guy out to be Brandon Lloyd.

Those of us that like the potential of Mix (not the ES / Madden version, BTW Dirtbag's ES post was hilarious) hope to see him developing into a Red Zone threat and solid possession guy, anything more is gravy. If he doesn't develop, we haven't lost anything, he's on the low end of the pay scale and we didn't give up anything to get him.
