And as Orsborn further noted: "It was one of Jones worst personnel decisions."
Davis gained 1,444 yards and averaged 4.5 yards per carry for a Carolina Panthers team that shocked the NFL by advancing to the Super Bowl. Troy Hambrick, meanwhile, managed a pedestrian 972 yards and 3.5 yards per attempt for a Cowboys squad that lost 29-10 to the Panthers in the first round of the playoffs.
In that playoff game, Davis finished with 104 yards while Hambrick picked up only 29.

Among the backs who will become unrestricted free agents when the NFLs free-agency period begins Wednesday are Philadelphias Duce Staley, ex-49 Garrison Hearst, former Patriot and Bill Antowain Smith and Tampa Bays Thomas Jones.
