I’m sure it’s a generational thing with the OJ vs. Bruce. I grew up watching Bruce and although he was amazing it’s got to be OJ.
The Bills were running, everyone knew they were running, and OJ still got 2,000 yards in 14 games. If anything close to that happened now it would be all anyone could talk about.
And I wonder if Talley didn’t get Bruce into shape and take the game seriously if Bruce would have fizzled out. Woulda, coulda. Doesn’t change OJ’s significance.
Also, Bruce was on an all-star team at the time. If you watched the pro-bowl back then every other helmet was Bills.
OJ benefitted from talent around him, so did Bruce.
