He was already 28 when he got hurt and only had 2,700 career rushing yards in four seasons. The Raiders had Marcus Allen at the time and they didn't run a guy as a bellcow, splitting between Jackson and Allen. Jackson was too old to challenge any career rushing records and he wasn't getting the volume necessary. His final season was also Emmitt's first season. He didn't have a chance.
I wasn't born yet to watch Bo Jackson but his stats are not very good. My opinion doesn't hold much weight as I didn't get to see him play but seems to be more hype than production. He had 2 seasons under 600 rushing yards and never eclipsed 1K in a season in a rushing league...
