I currently have 95 Bo Jackson and he's a great runner on the perimeter, but not so much on inside zone runs for me, whereas the complete opposite is true with Saquon Barkley. Saquon can squeeze through the slimmest of holes and pop out the other side and make a huge gain over and over again. I've kept his PU'd 92 card for a while and actually had his 93 ToTW when it first came out, but sold him for 375k and now that I was able to get him for under 200k I decided to put him in my PU and keep him and get rid of Bo while his price is holding pretty well in the mid 300s.
I like to run with multiple backs all game and use Saquon as my, between the tackles-HB/pass catcher. Bo is my bruiser who doesn't run too well between tackles for me at least, but is great on the outside and can really stiff arm and truck over anyone. I also use 91 AP boosted to a 92 OVR to spell either back and he is very versatile between the tackles or on the outside, but I just wish he had more speed than +1 from my team chem. I hear he's getting a PU soon or maybe even an upgrade. That's not why i'm here though. What I want to know is there any back that is close to performing like Bo in toughness and always falls forward, yet cheaper? I was thinking maybe someone like Jim Brown or Emmitt Smith. Neither would have to be my "bell-cow" so to speak, since I rotate backs often. Please don't recommend Dickerson, I know he's phenomenal and hard as hell to put on the ground, but he's also more expensive than Bo Jackson and I simply can't afford him. Thanks for your input!
