Bo Jackson was the greatest talent at RB the world has ever seen.

It isn't even debatable to me.

HE was awesome, but..... He's got nothing but highlights.. I still would have loved to see Barry behind a line like the Cowboys had.

Barry would have still killed drives at crucial times by refusing to take the yards in front of him. As a running back he was everything people hate about Tony Romo, a playmaker that makes stupid plays and doesn't show up in the playoffs.

True that. Faster and stronger than Herschel, but also able to turn on a dime like Barry Sanders. Sanders had nothing anywhere close to Jackson's speed or power though, and relied on offensive systems that spread the defense.

If you count durability as a part of talent, though, Jackson is below Sanders.

If you count durability Emmitt and Payton run away with it (see what I did there?)
