"What If Bo Jackson Stayed Healthy?" - In this intriguing video, we explore an alternate sports universe where the electrifying athlete Bo Jackson never had ...
We had Jay Schroeder at QB. Our backup RB, pressed into service, was Marcus Allen.
Maybe we only lose 51-17?
I can’t stress how awful a QB Schroeder was. He was so very bad. Al loved him because he could throw it out of the end zone from his own goal line, and every so often Willie Gault would run under one and it would be great, but he was dogshit. We weren’t going anywhere with him.
The next few drafts were terrible at QB. We got Billy Joe Hobert, who had talent and won a natty at Washington, but made JaMarcus look like a student of the game.
Now Bo in the Hostetler years? Maybe we get back to the AFC championship.
1993, do we win the close Buffalo game in zero degree weather with Bo? Maybe we do. Are we allowed to beat the Joe Montan led Chiefs in the AFC championship? Maybe we are. But no way in hell we beat the Cowboys.
1994, the wheels were starting to come off, but RB was a hole. Remember, we got Bo for half the season and the playoffs. We had two one score losses. Either is a W and we make the playoffs at 10-6. Same story though- do we beat the 49ers? I’d have liked to have seen that game.
What if winning in the playoffs got us full-time Bo? Now there’s a thought. . .
