Correll Buckhalter has torn a patellar tendon twice (once in each knee) and he is still the fastest RB on the team. If RB can do it so can an offensive lineman.

it affects lateral movement, running in a straight line no problem, but actually planting and cutting is another because of the knee brace

Dude...you've acknowledged that you're a homer, but statements like this just make you look like you don't know what you're talking about. Linemen brace with their legs and try to push forward against 300-pound defensemen. Running backs...well...run. There's a huge difference in how much pressure is placed on a knee in those two situations.

Again Mark Schlereth had plenty of knee injuries and was still very effective.

Too bad LJ did not go to the donks, he would reinjure Clady the first game just by running into him and falling down..

Well Moreno isn't exactly a track star.

Ok, so ... correct me where I'm wrong. Nobody is really saying that he will never return... just disputing the timeline.

Buckhalter missed the 2002 season because of an ACL tear - he played 0 games.

Buckhalter missed the entire 2004 AND 2005 seasons because of a ... torn patellar tendon in his knee.

Two seasons - I don't know how his injury compares to Clady and I don't recall what people were saying about his pending return within the first week after the injury.

You drew the comparison.... so there is your fact.

Broncos running back Correll Buckhalter missed the entire 2004 and 2005 seasons with two different patellar tears, although he suffered each injury in late-August.

It is only April Clady has PLENTY of time to make it back.

Cadillac Williams tore his patellar tendon late in 2008. He played every game in 2009 ... and had his best season.

He also tore one in 2007, and missed 14 months.

And 2009 was not his best season. 2005, his rookie year, was better in every rushing statistic. 2009 he didn't get over 1000 yards.

knowmo believes EVERYTHING he's told apparently.

hey knowmo, I'm your father. I know, I know, I shoulda pulled out, but I didn't (and your mother wasn't in the mood for anal that night).

He's going to be out for the season.

Don't be dumb KnowMo. I've had to see lots of OL injuries in SD and they always take longer than expected because of their body weight.

Only way around that is euthanasia.
