Best running back is Jim Brown.. Sorry, there is no comparision... Emit Smith my arse... Heck, most exciting running back would have been Barry Sanders or back in the day Gayle Sayers (Although Gayle was most exciting returning kicks and the like)

It is reall had with College QB's.. I mean, you have things like system Quartrbacks (Think Of the Andre Wares, David Klingers and the BYU quarterbacks) and than you have Option Quarterbacks who just win like many of the Nebraska QBs for years who were not modern QBS.. Charlie Ward at FSU is another example of a great college QB who decided basketball was a better future for him....

Biggest bust would have been Todd Marovich, who first had the nickname of incredibal bulk on the SI cover and than was switched to incredible bust a few years later... At least Bosworth had a movie career... Steroids would be both of these.. Biggest bust is tough because of the position the player plays. Think of the draft that Donovan McNabb went in and remember that Akali Smtih went to the Bengals, Tim Couch went to the browns and so on.. This was the QB draft (Was the Ricky Williams draft to I think)

Still takes a good man to score a Gordie Howe hattrick-back then those good old Saskatchewan boys didn't need a bowflex to stay in shape lol. I think Gordie was offered a pro baseball and football contract as well as hockey.

You can ignore Dave Winfield in that comment either, I think he was drafted in football, basketball and baseball... Bo was a freak of nature however, had some trouble with the curveball but could have been one heck of a player if he didn't destroy his hip.. Crazy fast and powerfull with a football...

Than again isn't there that quote from a baseball player when asked about how as an athlete he could smoke and drink all that beer. His response being "I'm a baseball player, not an athlete" Heck, Danny Ainge played a year with the blue Jays farm team before dedicating himself to basketball.

I forgot about Bo - he was pretty studly. Didn't seem to have any of those mega-ego problems that seem to be the norm these days, either.
