Bo Jackson says he would run 350+ on Saints

Yes Bo was good but he was not that good to make such an asinine statement that he could run for 350-400 yards a week against todays athletes playing in the NFL!!

350 yards a game x 16 games.............................well..............do the math and realize how stupid that really sounds!!

Yes he was a great back but he was and is human and the human that could accomplish something like that hasn't been born yet.

As I said before.........................................Bo was a great athlete but his train has definitely taken a detour to fantasy island.

People tend to exaggerate wording to enhance what they are saying. Just as if you said “I tried a million times” when actually you tried 10 or 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 tries. It’s still a form of great number, but that is just the style of communication that we have all come to use. What Bo is actually saying is that he would straight gash today’s defenses in terms of dominance on his part. That could be to the tune of 100+ or 150+ or 200+ 250+ or even 300+ a game. You have zoned in on one part of what he was conveying, instead of actually understanding what he was saying, by the way he was saying it. Let me help break it down in a better sense. Bo’s lowest ypc was 4.3 and that was his worst BY FAR. Think about that. The bench mark for good/great RBs is 4 ypc. His other years were 5.5, 5.6, and 6.8 as a rookie. So, in 4 years, his worst was 4.3. Now, imagine if that guy actually focused on playing just football and had a full season of workload. So, no Bo has not wandered off to fantasy land. He knows he was a bad Mofo and he would indeed wreck shop in today’s game
