Title: On the move??? RB Justin Fargas...
Post by StegRock on Feb 12^th, 2008, 1:42am

I don't know where this guy ends up. He had a "great run" in '08, though, so to speak, and probably had situated himself for a big payday and his pick of destinations despite the super-saturated market of tailbacks. But, then, the injury bug struck Fargas yet again. The injury is bad insofar as it is a knee injury, but it's not that bad in that it is an MCL, not an ACL and not a bad tear. What really makes the injury bad is a meta-level issue, that it adds to his already highly blemished injury history. All in all, at the end of the day, I am not convinced that Fargas's "breakout season" this past year won't end up being an anomaly in his career. In any event, the only destinations I see on the horizon where, at least, he will be given a chance to start are: 1) a reunion with Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay [smiley=buc.gif], 2) back with the Oakland [smiley=raider.gif]'s battling the bigger, more durable Dominic Rhodes for the starting gig, or 3) as a [smiley=chicken.gif] in Arizona challenging the aging Edgerrin James whose skills are surely diminishing.

Whatchya'll think??? [smiley=shrug.gif]

Those all sound like good options for Fargas. I think he stays in Oakland first, then maybe to Tampa Bay, then Arizona. Wherever he ends up, I hope he succeeds. I always liked the kid.
