Bo Jackson

Stats don't lie... Bo isn't even close to a top 100 NFL player and Deion is the best CB ever by a good amount. Same dumbasses who think Bo was great thinks Mahomes and Brady are the best QBs ever. Ask any coach or player who's been around and Bo isn't in any great NFL player conversation. Bo wasn't even good at MLB baseball either... GTFO

Bo was not good at MLB?  He made All Star in 1989 an hit  141 HRs with 415 RBI over his career vs 39 HRs and 168 RBIs for Deion..  stats DON’T lie.

Nobody destroyed me. You guys have no knowledge of football yet you come here opening your mouths like you do. Anybody with basic football knowledge knows who Bo Jackson is and why he is a big deal in football, you just don't know anything about the sport to understand it. Stop talking about things that you know nothing about.

Is this how you treat your girl when she disagrees?

We don't have to agree with you, just agree to disagree.

It may have been in small sample size but he has 90+ yard TD runs and the play he got hurt on was a 30+ yard run. He was way more explosive than he should've been for his size. And he's the only player to go all pro in both sports so idk why you talking about stealing bases in comparison to Deion being better lol. Isn't just about spd for stealing. And I don't recall them clocking in MPH on runs until a few years ago not 30 when Bo played lol. People always hating because he didn't have the stats you all wanted to see because he got hurt. He started doing bad in the MLB after his football career was over because he was hurt, not because he was bad

First... I never said Bo was bad. I am saying he did not accomplish the things Deion did as a multi-sport star, because of lack of volume, longevity, and numbers. MPH has been clocked for decades in most sports, it just isn't officially logged in NFL until 2018. Bo's highest speed in pads was 22.4 mph... just in comparison Raheem Mostert has been clocked over 23 mph multiple times, and ran a sub 4.3 40... so Bo's 4.13 that wasn't official never happened. If Bo could run a 4.13 he would have not declined to try it at an official pro day. As far as the 1 season Bo was an All star... he batted  .249 and led the major league in strikeouts that year by 20 strikeouts. 172 strikeouts in a season is awful. He was a fan favorite and back then stats didn't get you all star votes, popularity did. We can agree to disagree, but I was alive and watching both players during their careers and Bo was more of legend and story people told their kids than someone who could consistently put up good numbers in multiple sports. Deion has the real accolades that can't be denied. Deion was 6 time first team all-pro, played in super bowls and world series and would have won world series MVP if the Braves didn't choke despite playing in a pro football game during that series. Deion had a .300 avg. the one season he played in full and scored more t.d. than Bo and played DEFENSE. I'm done, cause the people I'm arguing against on this are proving my point anyways that Bo was a what if legend and Deion is a legend.

You saying it's a popularity contest just hurts your point. Deion was the most popular guy around so he for sure would've been voted an all-star, right? Well he wasn't. If Bo wasn't sharing reps with Marcus Allen throughout his 4 years all 4 years wouldve been over 1k yards and I'm sure his avg would be higher. Now this may support your "what if" theory but just watch the tape. Bo ran through all time greats like Bosworth and would break 2 to 3 tackles and outrun everyone else on the field for easy TDs when he did get reps. And imagine being so fast and athletic that he ripped his hip out of his socket? I never have and never will understand the hate for Bo just because he didn't put up amazing stats

Played only 4 years, 5.4 YPC, and shared reps with one of the greatest HBs to ever play the sport. The fact he was good enough to even take reps from Allen (I've seen clips where Allen was put at FB blocking for him lmao) proves his greatness in itself
