Seeing those two votes for Bo Jackson is just the latest in a long line of data points that confirm he's one of THE most overrated football players in this history of the game.

This isn't a test, Woodrow. There's no wrong answer.If I don't want to get run over by Bo Jackson, why do you have a problem with it?

I'd be lucky to not suffer a major injury with all of the above.

And another thing in Bo's defense:
Bo is the fastest of all these guys, and he was packing muscle on top of muscle. I never paid much attention in physics class, but I would think that an athlete that size, moving that fast in full pads with all that momentum can not be good news for someone trying to tackle him.

Of course there are wrong answers...Bo Jackson being one of them. I'm going to vote for Charlie Garner.Seeing those two votes for Bo Jackson is just the latest in a long line of data points that confirm he's one of THE most overrated football players in this history of the game.

Roger Craig, with those high knees, could do some damage too.
Brandon Jacobs wouldn't look to inviting coming at me either.

I dunno about him. I have to check with Wood first to see if your opinion matters.

Jim Brown was meaner than all those guys combined and one of the three best athletes.

Good to see it's a 2 man runaway, but I'm a little disappointed that there are any votes for someone other than brown and campbell.

True...but...he gets his pads lower than any big RB I've ever seen, and he has thighs like tree trunks. He worked out by pulling his Jeep around a parking lot. He is the also owner of perhaps the greatest 1-yard run for a TD in NFL history.Very, VERY difficult runner for 1 guy to bring down...rarely saw that happen in his career.

The question was which of these RBs would you LEAST like to take on...it stands to reason all of them would be uninviting prospects for an average Joe to handle.

Went with Brown due to the meaness/toughness factor.

I was looking for his name in the poll as well. Obviously the guys listed could do damage by running you over, but an ankle tackle still gets the job done.Barry would make you look stupid and put you in a highlight package for years to come. With a full head of steam there is almost no chance of bringing him down...mainly because even touching him would be difficult in that scenario.Also, Woodrow has some serious Bo Jackson hate going on. In his prime with a full head of steam Bo Jackson broke off some crazy, all-time plays. As a matter of fact he had two in just one Monday Night game. With the guidelines listed by the OP Bo is a more reasonable option than 5 or 6 of the other RB's listed.

I voted Earl, but I should have voted S.Jackson.... I have him in 4 leagues and don't want him to be tackled at all.

Exactly. He delivered concussions with his legs. Who voted Eddie George? LOL. He was tough to tackle because he usually fell down before the defense could get there.

It's gotta be Earl.
If Earl Campbell was coming at me full steam, I'd accidentally "trip" on that pesky artificial turf and go down before he got there. Even if I was playing on grass. Or sand.
