I brought it up because a freind of mine is a Aub fan and he was saying Bo was alot better then Faulk but when we looked up the numbers he was in shock. Id take any of them my point was u never hear KF name when people talking bout great RB in the SEC and by the numbers he is 2nd

I didnt know Faulks numbers were better


Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bo only play three years? If so, his rushing numbers per season dwarf Faulks's.

Why does this always have to be an either-or thing?

Faulk was amazing. So was Bo. They were very different backs.

For pure athleticism...speed and power combined...you can't beat Bo Jackson.

However, if you want that all-purpose back who can catch and block, how could you not pick Faulk?

If you wanted more of a pure speedster with QB like smarts, go with D-Mac. If you want a back who will just run over or through everybody, Herschel Walker no debate.

Why are we always comparing these guys? They are all awesome.


I'm not really sure how you can put Faulk in the same league with Bo and Walker. I would put Ingram and Faulk in the same league of runners. Great yards per carry, good receivers, good blockers, etc. They aren't Bo and Hersch though.

Faulk was a very productive back with a good yards per carry but he was a middle of the second round draft pick.

Bo was the better True between the tackles running back.

Faulk was the better All-Purpose Back.

Faulk may be the Most UNDERRATED SEC RB of all time.

If you had put Bo returning kicks, then it'd be a different story. Faulk's return yards skew the stats. His return yards have nothing to do with him being a better running back.

I'm starting to think the average age of posters on TD is much younger than I realized.

You said it yourself:

Who has the same YPC in the NFL as Herschel Walker, more total yards than Bo Jackson, more receiving yards than any back mentioned, and more Super Bowl rings than any of them, too.

Yeah...he's OK.

If Felix Jones gained ZERO YARDS for an additional 14 carries, he would still surpass Bo Jackson's #1 spot by a full yard, at 7.6 YARDS PER CARRY.



sucks for Felix Jones

Most of the Bo Jackson love comes from a "what might have been" perspective.


well of course. It seemed like the guy was always fighting an injury yet still putting up those numbers.

I would take Bo over KF but if u look at it why. Before u look at both there stats u think Bos numbers are way better then Faulks but they arent. Is it because Bo was just a freak? Was it because he won the heisman? Its a great debate but if u just post both there numbers without there names everone would pick Faulk but when u find out you just picked Kevin Faulk over Bo Jack your like WTF!!!
