1,200 yards is solid but it's not HOF numbers or anything and that was in his best year. There will be four to five RB's at least that pass 1,200 yards rushing this year and it's a passing league now.

The only reasons Bo's numbers were that low is because he split carries with Marcus Allen. As I said earlier, he averaged over 5.4 yards per carry. Not many NFL running backs have ever averaged that many yards per carry. Give him more carries and he would have obviously had more yards
Once agains a bammer shits on a thread about Auburn or an Auburn player without having any clue what he is talking about

Bo Jackson averaged over 5.5 yards per carry 3 out of the 4 years he played in the NFL. In other words, he only had 1 season he averaged below 5. 5 yards per carry
Barry Sanders played 10 or 12 years and he only had two seasons where he averaged over 5.5 yards per carry

I'm in the Bo corner on the Barry Sanders argument. Barry was great and imo the 3rd best RB of all time(Brown, Simpson) but Bo was in a different league of talent. No one will ever know of course but to me the discussion comes down to one key and important factor, how good could Bo have been as a RB if he focused fully on football and playing RB? It's no stretch to say that playing football after playing a full baseball season drained his ability a bit and he still was outstanding as a RB while sharing carries most of his NFL career. The guy was amazing.
As far as the dual sport athletes, I didn't see Thorpe so I can't speak on his real talent level(just that I can guarantee that there are hundreds of athletes currently that would completely outclass him as a pure athletic talent because of genetics, technology and just pure evolution) but there is absolutely no way anyone should ever compare Deion Sanders to Bo. Bo could have been a HOF member in both sports, Deion was only ever gonna be a HOF member in football. He was good at baseball but greatness was never an option for him. Huge difference.

I like your argument, but even you'll agree that there are a whole lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda and if's in your statement. We know exactly what Barry Sanders could do with the pigskin in his hands.

There is no way. I simply don't believe it. Somebody with a faulty timer maybe clocked him at that, but there is no way that he was faster than anybody in the history of running the 40. That is World Record.
