Best Video Game Football Player Ever?

This is a debate that has lasted since the dawn of video football games.

All of us has had the experience playing almost every football game out there, whether it was Tecmo Bowl and Madden on Nintendo, Madden and NCAA on the PS One, or Madden, NCAA, and ESPN on the PS2.

Last year, Michael Vick was hands-down the best player on Madden 2004.  Nothing could stop the guy!  He could run, he could throw the ball 80 yards -- he was just simply too tough to beat.

But overall, throughout all the football games I've played, it's gotta be Tecmo Super Bowl's Bo Jackson on the old 8-bit Nintendo.  It's a no-brainer that this guy could run for over 3000 yards in a season while averaging 30 yards per carry.  Along with Marcus Allen in the backfield, the Raiders were a team that was tough to beat.  Also, an honorable mention pick, is Rod Woodson on Tecmo Super Bowl on the 16-bit Super Nintendo.  Woodson, then a player with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was the return man on kicks and punts and was a defensive back for that tough Steeler defense.  Every return pretty much had a guarantee for a touchdown.  If an opposing quarterback had the guts to throw in Woodson's direction, he would most likely snatch it out of the air, and -- you guessed it -- would return it for a touchdown.

Who's your man?
