According to the Wiki link, Walker played 4 years for Dallas and made the PRO Bowl twice (1987,1988). He was not a bust in Dallas. By the time he got to Minnesota he was past his prime. Plus the Minnesota offensive line was not as good as the one in Dallas.

From the link:

Walker established himself as an NFL running back in 1988, becoming a one-man offense, reaching his NFL career highs of 1,514 rushing yards and 505 receiving yards, while playing seven positions: halfback, fullback, tight end, H-back, wide receiver, both in the slot and as a flanker. He became just the 10th player in NFL history to amass more than 2,000 combined rushing and receiving yards in a season. In the process he achieved two consecutive Pro Bowls (1987 and 1988).

Voting for Warnock got citizens of Georgia... an extra $1400 stimulus check. Which was immediately wiped out by higher prices on everything they spent it on, thanks to Joe Biden's reckless, irresponsible policies which pushed up the annual inflation rate from 1.4% on Inauguration Day to the current 8.3%.

from the wiki page



He received three standing ovations from the record Metrodome crowd of 62,075, producing a Vikings win after four successive losses and 14 of the prior 18 games with the Packers. Scout.com says, "Walker was never used properly by the coaching brain trust."[61] "Herschel the Turkey", a mock honor given out by the Star Tribune newspaper to inept Minnesota sports personalities, is named for him.[62] Walker played for the Vikings for two and a half years.

I would say that rushing for 1,500 yards in the NFL is equal to or even better than rushing for 2,000 yards in the USFL. You made it sound like he never made the Pro Bowl in the NFL. He made the PRO Bowl twice.

FTFY.

Too many dollars are chasing too few goods because of supply chain problems (That's on Trump) plus Putin invading the Ukraine. That is the real fix.

You have me confused with Jewish Lawyer. I don't have multiple ids. Jewish Lawyer has at least four of them. Jewish Lawyer, Uncle Han, Friendly Fred and now Salty.

Waco, You did not post that Walker was a bust. From what you posted one would not have thought that Walker rushed for 1,500 yards in a single season while in the NFL. Rushing for $1,500 yards in the NFL in the 1980's was a big deal when the running the game was more important back then. The NFL on offense is a passing league now.

show me the post. i never said Walker was a bust in the NFL. i said his prime years were in the USFL and for any player especially a running back where the shelf life is about 5-7 years that is correct.


show me my post where i said Walker was a bust. it doesn't exist.

you are mistaking the OP initial post to me.

Minnesota Vikings fans remember the dark days when the team traded for Herschel Walker. In exchange for Walker, the Cowboys received a boatload of draft selections. It proved to be the most lopsided trade in the history of the NFL, and maybe all of professional sports. Walker was a complete bust, and the Cowboys outsmarted the Vikings. It was embarrassing. Walker's straight ahead power and speed may have worked in college but his lack of agility and sideways quickness was his downfall in the NFL. As a candidate he appears equally clumsy, stumbling over policy questions and lying about his personal life and business career. I can understand Republicans eager to take the Senate, but is this the best Georgia Republicans can do? Walker doesn't know when to shut up, and when he speaks he delivers one misstep after another. I view Walker as an absurdity, a farce. Certainly Georgians had better alternatives than this lying, empty-headed fool. Originally Posted by Muy Largo
