There are a few exceptions to this. MJ could play today, BO could def play today. A lot
Of QBs from then could excel in todays game.

Just because u bigger faster stronger and only play in 1/2 games makes u better than someone who is willing to play a full season, no load management, worse medicine and theraphy but has a bigger drive, a want? Nowadays u got kids sitting out for bowl games and NCAA march madness tournaments bc they dont want to get hurt

I think this is overstated. Most above average players could be back end roster types (assuming their game translates) and would quickly progress with the updated training regimes. They were athletic freaks in their day, so it stands to reason they'd be at least average athletic with a year of training or so today.

GTFOOH with that shite.

There is no way in hell anyone could convince me that Bo Jackson in his prime couldn't make a current roster in MLB or the NFL.

Do you really believe what you posted?

This is such a weak argument. If you could teleport a player from era to the other, that player would have to exist within the confines of what is available in that period as far as training nutrition and medical resources..

What RB or OF is bigger, faster, AND stronger than Bo Jackson today?

Derrick Henry is bigger. Highly doubt he was stronger. No doubt Bo was faster.
Same with Aaron Judge. He's bigger. Not faster and steonger.

Jerry Rice is 6-2, 200. Ja'Marr Chase is 6 feet tall and 201 pounds.

Sweetness was 5-10, 200. C-Mac is 5-11, 210.

Guys in the trenches have gotten huge but other positions have been more stable.
