re: Bo Jackson vs. Herschel Walker

ill give Mcfadden this, the year LSU won the national championship yet lost to arkansas in overtime, i got concerned right before the game started cause although my tigers were better i was thinking about they only have one ball and they have one of the great RB's going for a heisman against a top team....he showed up and then i saw him after the game getting on the bus ..... he looked like a worn-out warrior, a true badass who left it all on the field....


that being said,

1 Herschel Walker- in the national championship they only had like three passes completed and still won
2 Bo Jackson

the rest

Are you talking a bout individual or team accomplishments or athletic ability?

About being the best college football player ever. Herschel and Bo were grown men amongst boys. McFadden was a young man amongst boys. I don't think there is any college football fan (save Arkansas fans) that saw all of them play that would have McFadden anywhere close to either of them. I'm not here to shite on McFadden. He was damn good. One of the five or so best college RB's I've seen. He just isn't Herschel or Bo.

You make no sense. If you knew anything about football you would know that the Raiders had the worst online in the league while McFadden was there. One year they were so short on linemen they brought in 2 players who had been released by other teams and they started most of the season. Hard to run when there are 2 or 3 defensive players in the backfield before you get the handoff. He also had injuries which hurt his career. The 1 year when he played 14of the 16 games he went over 1000 yards led the league in average per carry, runs over 20 yards,and yards after contact. They also had an inept passing attack allowing defenses to key against the run. Also, Carson Palmer, who was in the league for many years and before injuries was a top QB said many times that McFadden was the best player in the league Just the facts Ma’am.

McFadden still had a better career and lasted longer in the NFL despite being injury prone most of his career.

But hey if you want to argue that Hillis is better than McFadden then more power to you.

You do know what options are like

They are both great athletes, two of the best ever. Don't disrespect either one of them. I never saw Walker up close and personal, but I did Bo.

He ran me over as a scout team DE like a bug hitting a windshield at McAdory back in 81. He played RB, DE, and was our placekicker. He kicked it through the end zone on kickoffs almost every time. Not into the end zone, but past it. In spring, Bo was playing baseball and excelling at it when one of our coaches came up to him and asked him if had ever run track. He said no. Coach said the Jefferson County championships were the next day, did Bo want to go? Bo said sure. He won and qualifed for the state meet in the 100 meter dash, the long jump, and the high jump. He was just an incredibly athletic person. Raw, but no limit to his potential. If he had spent any time honing his craft on anything beyond baseball and football, he would have excelled at it. He could have been an Olympian at track and field, no doubt.

I imagine Herschel was the same. Look at his bobsledding experiment. Just amazing that two of the greatest athletes to ever walk the planet were so close in geography and time. Tip your hat to both of them. I'm proud to be able to say I got decleated by Bo!

But those are not facts ma’am, just more excuse making and delusion which has hit a level here I’ve never seen in my life btw. You must have missed the years he played in Dallas behind one of, if not the best Oline in the NFL. You also ignore that Hillis played for the CLEVELAND BROWNS who were much worse than Oakland. “Facts” lmfao you guys don’t know the meaning of the word.

Good post.

The irony is that arguments are made that Bo is the better athlete despite Herschel having faster times in the 60 yard and 100 meter.

Im sure Bo is the better hockey player in socks, guitar player, diver, and swimmer. Probably better at golf and darts. Definitely the better hunter.

But he isnt faster. He isnt the better running back. Just a better money maker out of Madison Avenue.

He had his second best season in Dallas and his best by a wide margin in 5 years. “Hungrier competition” against Joseph Randle and Robert Turbin? You do know he was the starter right? You’re the one who claimed again that McFadden was in a much more disadvantaged situation even though Oakland won at well past the rate Cleveland did during their respective times at each franchise. You constantly assert standards then when it’s exposed as faulty you not only run from it but pretend I introduced it. The excuse making here is so bad it’s almost indistinguishable from trolling. I’m not even sure you saw this guy play, your knowledge of him seems to come from stories you’ve heard and highlights.
