Bo VS TD

I'm probably a little biased cause I think Bo is overrated, even though still an amazing athlete, but that's another story.

I get it.... Blah blah highest ypc blah blah blah he split time with Marcus Allen blah blah tecmo bowl

Bo was the shyt, and naturally we assume Bo would've dominated, but we actually got to see TD dominate. He had more yards and tds as a rookie than Bo had in any year. Davis came in the league much younger... By the time he was the age Bo was as a rookie, Davis had over 4000 yards and 2 super bowl rings. As great as Bo ypc is, Davis had a higher one in the playoffs.
So you think Bo is overrated but dont think Terrell Davis is?

Didn't Mike Anderson run for 1500 yards in the same system?

Did Olandis fukking Gary have like 1100 yards in that same system

Didn't journeyman 3rd down back Justin Forsett just have 1100 yards in the same system?

We can't take away the injuries and then use the injuries against a guy. Terrell was a beast but he was also in a great situation, the perfect situation really. Bo was a freak, one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen. There is little doubt in my mind that he could have taken TDs spot and done the same or even better. I'm not sure Mr. Davis could have done better than Bo in his spot though.

Bo Jackson was a genetic freak, but it's a shame he fukked up his hip, because he was kind of just entering his prime as a runner. Also too Bo had some impressive games for a guy who was basically a part time player. Terell Davis was very talented but he benefitted from the system and their O-Line had some HOF level hogs.

Bo was a beast but I never realized that he was so old as a college player and as a professional. He was like 25 before he debuted in the pro's and he was like a 20/21 year old freshman in college. I know that is off topic but I just saw it when I looked up his stats. But either way he would have been an all time great in football if that was his only sport he played.
