Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

There are very few recievers, that do well in there first year. Start looking up good recievers and you will find that most start to produce in their third year. People, making such definative statements about Mix, being good or bad, are forming an opion without any facts. Even, Calvin Johnson, the second player picked in the draft, did not do much his first year.

yet that "not very much" is still about 1,000,000 times more than mix. there's a difference between not becoming an instant superstar and not even getting on the field, and i don't think i'll be comparing calvin johnson and mix anytime soon either.

I respect your opion on alot of things, but as far as I know, you are just another fan(not an authority on NFL personnel). I made no comparison, between Mix and Johnson. You are just attempting to belittle me, as you do to many people, when you dont share their opinion. Your point about how they should not be compared, is exactly right. What I was pointing out is, that a top talent like Calvin Johnson did not do a whole lot, in his rookie year, so why would anyone expect more from Mix. He was a project, with all the physical tools. Maybe, he is ready now.

Also, I dont agree with your opinion with B. Johnson. I think, he is exactly what we need. He is a big red zone target. Santana is our #1.

756 yards while spliting catches with Roy Williams (836 yds), Shaun McDonald (943 yds), and Mike Furrey (664 yds) isn't doing much? Lol, man I'd hate to be a rookie on your team witih standards like that. "Johnson get more yards then Adrian Peterson this year or else you're off the team."

I really want to find out who started Mix-Mania, because it's one of the most utterly ridiculous 1+1=2 phenomenoms I've ever seen. If I had to guess I think it might have started something like this in a land called ExtremeSkins.

Master Cheif: Hey guyz u guyz holy shit u guyz. vinny Sirato say we need huge reciever dis offseason 4 grate justice. i find guy on roster dat r 6'5. this is such a big ****ing deal. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z give Mix shot

13 Year Old Fan: ZOMG, and he has 95 speed on Madden and hes 6 foot five. this is r guy but y so many z in please

Master Cheif: B/c i think the more z's i put in plz the more chance dan snyder r give Mix shot.

14 y/o fan: DOES ANY1 NO ANYTHING BOUT HIM CUZ HE LOOKS 1337!one!!!1!

Mstr Chief: well he r have chance to win supper b0wl w da vigiants but we sign him to practice squad and he r recover squib kick so shuizam can miss 5 inch FG >: (

semi-informed fan: he also played wit campbell at auburn could be a good fit.

Every1 else: WOW THIS IS GREAT! WE DON'T NEED TO LOOK AT ANYONE. MIX IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD lololollololololololololololo

Ok so maybe it didn't start like that but I really sometimes I wonder if the our fanbase is smoking rocks. Theres a huge difference to me between giving a guy a shot, and annointing someone as a savior for a particular need. In this case a possible #1 Reciever that Cerato and Dan Snyder are looking for.

Ironically if you guys really want Mix to play then your best chance would be for us to sign Hacket. With Hackets history of injuries we might need to carry an extra reciever or two on the roster. But seriously this whole Mix thing has me dumb founded.

LOL LOL LOL

Oh my friggin GOD, that was funny. Matty and SS, get this guy on the payroll because that Extreme conversation was comedic genius!

I'm still counting on Darnerian McCants to be our big go-to receiver....once he puts his music career on hiatus.

I dont think mix is good enough.

[Stuck in TX]

he contributes and hes not currently overpaid... what is this thread about again?

[BrudLee]

Here's the reason Mix was signed: He has a history with our starter, so they were hoping they'd have some chemistry without having to sacrifice practice reps for our top-tier players. That's it.

Is he a valuable member of our team? Depends on your criteria. He's a special teams contributor, that gives him some value. He's paid next to nothing (in NFL terms). I think all but a few people will say that Mix was more valuable than Lloyd by those terms.

Of the receivers currently on roster, Mix probably isn't a starter. That doesn't mean that someone who is 6'5", runs a 4.5 40, and plays special teams fairly well for the league minimum is in a great deal of danger.

As I said in the Hackett thread: Where is this Anthony Mix nonsense coming from? Does he come up big in Madden or something? Are we talking about the same Mix who has 3 catches in 3 years in the NFL? The same guy who had 288 yards receiving his Senior years and 294 yards his Junior year? Is this what we've come to around here?

Sure some guys take time to develop as NFL talent but most showed a lot of talent at least in college! His Junior year Courtney Taylor, Ronnie Brown (RB!), Ben Obomanu, Devin Aromashodu, and Cooper Wallace ALL had more receiving yards. His Senior year Obomanu and Aramashodu both had more yards.

As much as I'd love for the guy to be the next Jerry Rice, give it a break. Hopefully the guy becomes a good special teamer and 3rd/4th receiver. He has never shown any more than that.

[Stuck in TX]

Its good to hear something about him from someone other than us. I was begining to think all the quiet was causing us to go crazy!

[Danoyd]

I like Anthony Mix. He should be utilized a little more then just special teams. That play in Seattle was nasty and he was a tackling machine on special teams, in particular theChicago game. If remember correctly he ROCKED dEVIN hESTER

[Dirtbag59]

It's basically like going after a Long term relationship with a girl you don't know just because she has big tits and a nice backside. Look if you're not going to get to know her then at least go for the one night stand.

The expectations for a guy like Mix are way to high. Antonio Gates had to get 324 yards during his rookie year before fans started putting the same type of hype into him as some of you seem to be doing for Mix. I'm sure the guy appreciates it, but damn!

You know what this is how I feel about "Mix mania." If only you guys hadn't hyped him up so much then I wouldnt have type with my feet.
