Obviously, I didn't think otherwise. I was the one explaining it to you (perhaps needlessly).

You seemed to be making a distinction between the Raiders drafting him with the intent to sign him that year vs. owning his rights.

Here was your post.

But really - Davis was just taking a flier...and wanted Bo's rights.

There were no rights to own other than for the current year...like every other draft choice.

I would say, at this point, Bo would prolly agree with your opinion.

Even with all the changes with athletes over the last 30 years... BO would still be a beast in the NFL.. Yes he was THAT special.... He would still be a very high pick.. Maybe even #1.

Any athlete who can make it in MLB is an absolute tard to choose football over baseball. Baseball is better to your body and you can play longer and get paid a shitton more.

Today, definitely.
Thirty years ago this was not as obvious.
Forty years ago this was not case at all.
