This would be an interesting discussion. Lamar Jackson 2019 needs to make the top 10 list at the very least. |

Imo, 2019 Lamar > 2018 Mahomes and it’s not particularly close. |

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/755 ... ry#slide19 Holy shit Barry Sanders 1988 Quote: Sander’s 1988 season was so good it’s hard to believe it was even real.
He rushed for 2,628 yards and 37 touchdowns in 11 games. In the Holiday Bowl he added 222 yards and five more touchdowns, bringing the 12-game total to 2,860 yard and 42 touchdowns. That’s an average of 237.5 rushing yards and 3.5 touchdowns per game! He also had 515 return yards with two touchdowns and 106 receiving yards, giving him 3,471 all-purpose yards and 44 total touchdowns. Sanders set 34 NCAA records in 1988, including rushing yards, touchdowns, points scored, and all-purpose yards. |

The two were alien compared to the rest of the players in their league. Jordan was far superior as much for intangible items than tangible. |

68 Bob Gibson is definitely a good one. Gretzky seems to be the winner tho….crazy numbers for one season. FF, curious why you think Jackson 2019 and Mahomes 2018 are not close? |

Mahomes did something we’ve seen before at one of the highest levels possible. Lamar did something we’ve never seen before and many didn’t think was possible. |
