Calling someone a douche or an ignorant clown is more than a reply. But anyways.

when da fuq did I call someone an ignorant clown? I called someone an internet clown, which he is. He said he wanted to meet up at the Alabama and LSU game so he could beat me up, the offer still stands..that guy is a badass.

but He was probably a better all around athlete than anyone you just named
Just imagine how good he could've been at football if he hadn't also been focused on baseball part-time. Or likewise, if he put his full attention on baseball. Sky was the limit for him.

Who is the biggest heisman snub in the past 20 years?

Does me not being alive while he dominated somehow take away from his greatness, and make Mark Ingram better?
It just makes you look like a tool when you state that the two shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath
You have to understand, Bo Jackson's greatness, legendary status has been branded into the brains of his generation(the ones who never watched him play) of Au fans. Based on what they've been brainwashed to believe no RB will ever be able to be mentioned in the same breath as Bo. They only need watch a few of his best highlights for validation and then their mind is closed.
However, for those of us who were alive/old enough to watch both players in their prime season know that Ingram was as good a "RB" as Bo was his best year. Now, Bo was a better all around athlete but as for RB skill sets they were close to equals.
The problem is the few guys like Bo Jackson are absolute Iconic Heroes to their fans and their legendary status will never be matched. Therefore it is impossible for their fans to objectively compare them with current players skill sets, especially those on their biggest rivals teams.
To Answer the OP: I would go with Peyton Manning.

Yeah, I would've liked to see what he would've done if the hip injury never happened.

In short, I stopped reading after I read what's quoted above.

IMO, Bo Jackson was the 3rd best running back to ever strap up during a college football season, behind Barry Sanders and Herschel Walker
Marcus dupree was pretty beastly the year he played. Averaged almost 8 yards per carry
I'd put ladainian tomlinson and ricky williams slightly ahead of bo when comparing college careers, both were animals

I hadn't read that post until after I posted. Kudos to you. But you have to agree most Au fans are brainwashed into thinking no other RB should be mentioned/compared to him. I'll simplify my thoughts for you. Bo was not that much better than Ingram as a pure RB, now he was a superior Athlete. Their Skill sets as RB's is comparable.

Nobody's saying he didn't have an argument. Hell, he certainly deserved to be in NYC. But, it's hard to make the case that he was the best player in college football in 2006, much less that he should have garnered a larger percentage of first place votes (86.7) than anybody in history.
