      ⁠​⁠@@waynehankinson8210Steve wasn’t terrible at all. Respectfully, the only way to make a claim like this is to either look at the stat line exclusively, or to look at the stats and MAYBE catch a tiny handful of clips online somewhere… whether a segment on a documentary or an episode of some show about Steve, the history of the franchise, or the creamsicle uniform days.
      There’s no scenario where you actually watched the guy play in Tampa on that team running that system with that roster and come away from it with the claims you just made. 😂 None.
      Raw? Yep. Young?? Mm-Hmm. Inexperienced??? That too. But terrible? No way. Remember, he was only TECHNICALLY a rookie. He had a couple years of pro ball under his belt in the USFL, and he was a baller.

    I wish one of these guys would ask Steve about the story with his annuity and his mother defending it in the stands at a game. To hear him tell it is great - I think it's in the USFL 30 for 30.

      No more like Bo was too STUPID and gotten taken advantage of buy an NFL team and organization. It was his responsibility to find out if the visit violated NCAA rules. Bo already had an agent and advisers. Bucs weren't out to screw him over. Bo screwed himself over.

    They was too pushy into making him forget about baseball and he loved baseball more than football. Then once he returned to school and his coached found out about the meeting and had to suspend him the entire season after Tampa lied. Bo really hated the Bucs.

      Lol, bucs didn't lie to Bo. It was his responsibility to find out whether that tampa visit violated NCAA rules. they interviewed culverhouses son regarding the story. Bo has no one to blame buy his dumb self on this ordeal.

    • @DelsFan
      @DelsFan 11 місяців тому +1

      I don't know who was to blame; Bo said he was assured the visit to Tampa Bay was OK. Bo Jackson wasn't the first college two-sport player drafted into the NFL; so, it is hard to believe the Bucs didn't know he would be ruled ineligible upon returning to Auburn (whether it was Bo's responsibility to know, or his "acting" agent should have known - the Bucs knew Bo was screwed if he took the plane ride, and didn't care). I do know Bo was having an all-SEC baseball season his last year at Auburn, and according to his coach sat down on the field and cried when he told Bo the SEC had disqualified him from playing the remainder of the season. After that debacle, Tampa Bay management probably should have known or figured out Bo wasn't going to play for them. They wasted not only a #1 draft pick on Bo, but the first pick of the entire draft. There wasn't another player as good as Bo, but when you have the pick of every college football player who is eligible for the draft, you know there was another (superior) player who would have been an asset to the Buccaneers, had they drafted someone other than Bo. Instead the Bucs essentially gave up the first overall draft pick, getting nothing in return; and struggled to become even mediocre for years afterward. @@anthonys3631
