Bo Jackson in CFM

[Falconfreak]

I am trying to create a player with Bo Jackson since I know you can't use his MUT cards in franchise mode. What would you guys say are realistic attributes for him? All I can find in MUT are the rare ones where's he like 99 in almost everything or he's kinda garbage at 80 everywhere.

What would be realistic attributes for prime Bo Jackson on the Raiders?

Lol probably the same attributes as what Todd Gurley has except with 96 or 97 speed.

High trucking, mid 80's strength.. His acceleration should be pretty high.. I would say like 95 speed, 97 acc, 82-85 strength.. 95-99 trucking.. He was pretty agile for a bigger back too.. In his prime, he was a complete monster. No other back before or after had his skill set

Thanks for the help guys. I'm lucky enough to have been able to watch him back at Auburn and then the Raiders so I went with basically a faster Gurley. The only back I've seen like Bo was Herschel Walker in his prime. The true combination of speed and power in that kind of size was just insane.

Jim Brown, and to a lesser extent on the power OJ Simpson. But Jackson was probably the strongest back ever. So Naturally talented, If he had committed to football it would have been nice to see what he could have done. He realistically should have like a 90+ in power and like a 96ish in speed and acceleration.

Eh, I mean you've got guys like Earl Campbell, Jerome Bettis and Christian Okoye to think about too, in addition to your mentions of Brown and Simpson. Also remember Eric Dickerson was 6-3 220, was basically Bo before Bo, and Walter Payton ran people over at a much higher clip than Bo ever did. Not even trying to bash on Bo, he was amazing, but you're overrating him a bit here.

That said, 98 SPD, 92 ACL, 89 AGL, 89 STR, 93 CAR, etc., it would be really hard to overrate him, frankly. Just lay off the 99s and you'd have a hard time messing it up, OP.

Bo was like a faster Earl Campbell.. didnt do much juking, was more north south runner.. but if you were in front of him.. he'd still punish you
