Marcus Allen to me , he was a beast out there

Bernard Thompson

If Bo Jackson stuck to one sport, he would have been the best.

Even though he retired with the Chiefs (ughhh), Marcus is the greatest RB in franchise history, FOR NOW . . Josh Jacobs, with some healthy years under his belt, should surpass Mr. Allen for greatest all-time, it is bound to happen.

While short in duration and not as accomplished statistically or as a winner in his time wearing Silver and Black, it is important to remember that when Bo Jackson came onto the scene they had Allen coming off the bench in his prime. This was after he helped win a SB. I know this wasn't just purely a football decision by the GM and coaching staff at the time as Allen and Al Davis had their issues, but that is how good Bo was before he got hurt.

I was a season ticket holder in LA.  I saw both Marcus and Bo.  Bo was a special talent, amazing athletic ability but he only played part time and not enough years.  Marcus was so slick.  He had a gracefulness about him I’ve never seen. He rarely took a clean hit and found holes where nothing existed. Much faster that he looked. Blocked like a TE.  Marcus Allen definitely was the best Raider running back.

Bo just cause Bo was awesome, probably ALlen though.

When one of your highlights is one of the name Great Moments in Raider history , and it was in a Super Bowl there is no further discussion you are the greatest running back in Raider history

Jeff Barnett

Like @Glenn Heinrich said, even thought he played with KC, no one else had the stats and Super Bowl MVP like Marcus.
