re: Chad Jones vs Bo Jackson

Chad Jones was a decent football player. Not a great one. Not a top ten safety at LSU even. He returned kicks and students loved him. He had a few weeks of a baseball career.

Chad was a fan favorite, and because of that his legend has far exceeded anything he ever did on the field. His freakish success in baseball really cemented him in Tiger lore.

Chad Jones vs Bo Jackson

---

don't disrespect Bo

Chad Jones isn't even the best athlete to come out of LSU's modern era. he's not close to a freak-level athlete

Lsu is winning both of those titled without chad jones, sorry.

That strip sack was a 3rd down play. Bama was punting from deep in their own territory to lsu.

Lsu was up about 7 runs when jones came in to pitch that 8th inning

Try Jim Thorpe vs Nobody. Then, Bo Jackson vs Deion Sanders. Chad Jones vs Frank Thomas, In That Order.

bo jackson was arguably the most freakish athlete of all time. I've thought about not even responding....but I changed my mind.

The closest to him worth even comparing would be Fournette. From a size and talent standpoint.

Billy Cannon didn't play against black athletes. He isn't close to Bo Jackson and nobody else from that era was either.

LSU has never had a player compare to Bo.

Jones was a remarkable athlete, but putting him in the same coversation with Bo is unfair to him. Bo was a once in a lifetime talent. Jones showed he could hack it, but I would not put him up there with Bo nor wold I put him in the same park with Deion Sanders who arguably had a better career in both football and baseball than Bo

What in the world were you thinking when you typed all this crap?

just to clarify, Alabama has never had and football player compare to Bo Jackson, nor has any other team in the SEC including Georgia

Chad was remarkable. Against Miss State he ran back a punt for a touchdown. But better yet he saved the game at the end by deflecting a pass.
