That reason alone makes sense why? Because he had success in two sports whereas LT was only a football player? You said it bruh...



Certainly Bo Jackson is better for his ability to be able to snap a bat over his knee. I mean...DUH!
Yeah...Thats clearly not what I said.The reference to Baseball was in relation to Bo not playing a Full NFL Season because of say it loudly BASEBALL...So Duhh yourself. I know what I said.

Re: Who will have a better career?

The RB position is so injury prone, great career numbers require a huge amount of luck. The the real odds are LT will have the better career because he managed to stay uninjured for a long stretch. If Peterson stays healthy and avoids injury, then its anybody's guess.

Re: Who will have a better career?

I think people are really underrating and/or not giving enough credit/value to the career LT has had. His numbers have just been absolutely phenomenal. He has arguably oustide of Jim Brown has had the best 8 years ever in the history of the NFL. Nobody ahead of him on the all time rushing list has played less than LT and his yards per game is right up there with Brown and Sanders for all time. But just look at this

Through 8 years only Jim Brown and Barry Sanders have ran for more yards. If he goes over 1,000 this year only Sanders will have had more through 9 years.

Through 8 years NOBODY has scored as many TD's as LT. He has got Emmit beat by 14 TD's. He already ranks number two all time as it stands now. For comparison it took Marcus Allen 16 years to get his 123 TD's. It took LT half that to score 126. His 141 TD's rank 4th all time and again nobody has put the ball in the endzone LT during that period of time. He even scores TD's at a higher rate than Jim Brown. Nobody reached a 100 rushing TD's faster than LT.

That doesn't even take into account all he has done catching the ball out of the backfield. None of those guys names that has been brought up have caught the ball like LT has. Only Faulk, Allen, Payton, and Craig can have a case made for them to be as good or better than LT in this regard.

When you combine his yards, TD's, and catching the ball out of the backfield LT's 8 year run is unmatched except by like I said Jim Brown and maybe Barry cause he did get alot more rushing yards but LT has scored 42 more TD's during that time. His 8 year run is truely an all time great run.

So because Bo played 5 or 6 less games (avg.) than LT did over his "illustrious" football career you're saying he could've outperformed LT?

When LA had Marcus Allen through the entire Bo Jackson career?

You can't be serious, oh wait...you are...
