Lets do take stats out the equation look at the competition that Henry and Fournette has to go against now compared to Bo and Herschel.

All you have to do is look at the raw freakish athletic talent of Bo and Herschel. Physically those two are on another level. Now I agree that Herschel probably couldn't have a 385 carry season against today's competition, but those two would rape defenses in any era.
Henry and Fournette are closer to Herschel than anybody we've seen, but still couldn't hold his jock. And Bo's combination of size, power, agility, and speed have yet to be and may never be matched. There's a reason he's still regarded by anybody with a valid opinion as the greatest athlete of all-time
