From the Washington Post-Hambrick

Surely Hambrick couldn't beat out Fargas... He actually has some talent.

If Emmitt was at the same point in his career I would of never made such a statement in the first place.

He wont ever be a dominant player, but I wouldnt be surprised if he gained 1100-1200 yds if he stays healthy and gets enough work...Oakland has the makings of a pretty solid OL, and whether Gannon or perhaps Kerry Collins (if he signs there as many think) starts at QB, both are vastly superior to the Q crapper...Norv knows offense

But I'm pulling for him. He has talent otherwise he'd be long gone. We'll see how he does, but so far he has not been a feature back. He's JAG.

He couldn't do it in Dallas with all that yapping he did when Emmitt was here. He might be able to do it where nobody knows him and his mouth.

I think he made a good thing by changing team.
He knows his limits now (at least we know his limits )
He can play as a backup and pass blocking, and he was pretty good as special team player, but he couldn't do it anymore in Dallas.

Yeah, I mean who would have ever picked Hambrick to beat Fargas for a starting job??? Certainly none of the draft experts!!! It may or may not happen.

Now that we got this ugly truth out of the way you guys can continue your attacks on the man.

I agree completely...Hambrick was a first year starter running behind a lousy line and a passing game with no go to receiver.

I think he should have been kept around to see how he could do behind a good OL and in a good passing game...I think he'll have a good year in Oakland, but I don't see him starting.

Don't forget that Hambrick has been a starting rb...Fargas has not proven that he can do even what Hambrick has done yet.
