I agree that Barry has an unparalleled collection of dancing, then explosive runs. (Of course, he also had a considerable amount of runs for minus yardage, because he would dance rather than hit the hole for a short gain.) My argument is that Bo had plenty of those, and Bo also had pure power.

(My favorite is hosting Denver in 1988, where Bo tries to convert a short-yardage situation, gets knocked back by the Broncos d-line, resets himself, hits the hole again and gains five yards. You don't beat Bo twice!)

That said, all very subjective, and I'm mostly only here because I'm so pissed off that my game has crashed and is giving me a technical issue. (I hate needing support.) Don't mind me.

For my $, Bo Jackson was the purest athlete I ever witnessed. It was absolutely insane how easy NFL & MLB was to him.
