The All-“What If” Team: Offense

I see what you're saying and I didn't phrase it well. I was more talking about Julio from 2020 onward, it would've been great to see where Julio would've ended up if not for his past injuries. They've been severely affecting him the past 3 seasons.

Julio holds records for fastest ever to 7k (tied), 9k, 10k, 11k, 12k, and 13k yards. Rice holds the 14k yard one in 164 games, Julio has 13,614 yards in 153 games, he needs 386 yards in the next 10 games (or 38 YPG average) to get it. He most likely won't get it because this is his last season, but imagine a still healthy ish Julio and not what he has been the last 3 seasons, he would've destroyed that record way before.

Julio one of the best to ever do it, but since injuries late in his career piled up to slow him way down, he'll never be in that tier with Rice, Moss, TO, he's in the next tier down.

And as for AB, he obviously was still physically healthy to play, but he sabotaged his legacy by going mental, many peeps already believed he would've been in that tier I just listed had he not. He has one of the greatest 6 year runs of all time (and funny enough Julio's run is just slightly underneath it)

They both had a HoF career, just they never got the chance to cement their legacy even higher. They are a What If, but compared to so many others listed, they're not a What If. If that makes a lil more sense.
