What policy position or opinion did I give that made you come to the conclusion that I’m a liberal?
So you think not believing a candidate would make a good Senator makes someone liberal or conservative? I guess you are just totally opposed to the primary election process?
You are only confirming your idiocy.

If you look at the ENTIRE career... college and the NFL... it's clearly Derrick Henry.
Herschel Walker had 19,046 yards rushing combined in his professional and collegiate career. Henry has 10,320 yards to date.

All great. Bo is the bigger icon for sure.

If we're talking single season, Henry is in the conversation. Doesn't he have the all time SEC single season record?
For total rushing yards, yes, but he's 7th in rushing yards per game in a single season. Remember Henry did that in 15 games. Walker's season of 1,891 was in 11 games. Walker is actually 1st, 4th, and 8th in rushing yards per game in a single season. Other ahead of Henry on a per game basis are Fournette 162.8, Jackson 162.4, C Alexander 153.3, and Gurley 151.8. Henry's 2015 season he rushed for 148.0 yards per game.

Bo was the greatest athlete...Herschel was the greatest running back.

Herschel was faster.
Herschel Walker ran a 6.12 60 yard dash in a 1981 track meet.
Bo Jackson's record in the 55 yard dash (still a record at auburn) was 6.18 seconds.
Herschel has the faster 100 meter time as well (10.1 to 10.44 for Bo).
Herschel = greatest RB
Bo = greatest athlete
I'll stand on that hill.

But he is the only back with a 2000 yard season and that has weight.

I understand the Bo is a freak athlete etc..
But he had 2 seasons out of 4 that he rushed for less than a 1000 yards. He won 1 SEC Championship, zero NC.
Bo Jackson is a myth. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. He produced a 45 sec highlight reel in his career. Its an awesome reel..but thats all there is...everything else is speculation because unfortunately he was injured.
Herschel Walker WAS the UGA offense. They won three consecutive SEC's handing the ball to Walker on nearly every play.
Georgia sucked the year before he arrived and they sucked again after he left.
In reality, he should have won the Heisman all 3 years he played.

If someone was chasing me with a weapon, I could out run all of the so-called greatest.

Impressive that Walker averaged more YPG for his SEC career than Henry's amazing 2015 season.
And the Bo vs. Hershel debate is a great one. DMAC is overlooked a lot, but he isn't on the level of Bo and Herschel. Emmitt Smith while obviously had an amazing pro career, was just another great SEC RB and not in the GOAT discussion. Faulk is in that same category as well.

Until my eyes see one better, its Bo.

Good for you, i guess.
Herschel was more explosive. So despite Bo making a nice catch, Herschel could run higher up a wall. Physics.
Despite Bo making a great throw from the outfield, Herschel could run and jump and kick and punch better.
I agree that Bo was better in the park on the diamond for the business man's special.
But herschel was better on the gridiron and in the octogon marching his conquests on the field of battle.

Dumbass Blow U fan can’t read?? When did Adrian Peterson play in the SEC? Anyway, Hershel was an incredible once in a generation combination of power and speed. Bo was great, but not quite as good as Hershel. I was at the 1986 Cotton Bowl. 4th quarter with the game on the line, Auburn had a first and goal at the A&M 6. Auburn ran Bo four straight times for no gain. A&M took over on downs. Later in the fourth quarter needing to continue drives, the Aggies stuffed Bo twice more for no gain, sealing the Aggie win.

If he played on better teams then his numbers would be better. But he was hamstrung in a one dimensional offense.

No question about it.
"HERSCHEL WALKER IS THE GREATEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL RUNNING BACK IN HISTORY, AND HE PROVED IT IN JUST THREE SEASONS"
"There are four players that are always brought up whenever people debate who was the greatest back of all time. Their names are HERSCHEL WALKER, BO JACKSON, ARCHIE GRIFFIN, and BARRY SANDERS.
Walker and Jackson both played in the SEC, while Sanders played in what was then the Big 8, and Griffin played in the Big 10. All four players have won the Heisman, the most prestigious award one can win in college football.
These four players racked up an unbelievable amount of yards, touchdowns, highlight plays, awards, and records when they played.
However, a closer look at their stats shows one player in particular stands out from the rest and that is the running back from the University of Georgia, HERSCHEL WALKER." -- Eric Crocker, November 2019
