    I do think you will see Hillis getting a good portion of carries just as Jones did.
    Makes sense to me.

    I have no doubt that JC is a great talent. But study after study shows that RB's that suffer ACL injuries never perform again at the high level they were before the injury.Same goes with Berry who will need to make serious cuts to make tackles or try to int the ball.

    Don't believe me, read below.

    Best tradition:... I have to go with the Oakland Raiders. How can that be disputed? ...Everyone equates the colors Silver and Black with the Raiders. There’s Al Davis, who has been with the franchise for 48 years. There are all the great Hall of Fame players,...There’s the three Super Bowl titles. You think of the AFC West, and you think of the Raiders.

    I saw another report that seemed to indicate that the younger a player was (and the fewer games they had played) the less the drop-off was when they finally did return. Charles, Berry and Moeoki are all relatively young.

    Do you have a link? I like to read it, I searched for any article that would indicate this, but I am having a hard time locating it. Every reputable medical journal/ article on ACL injuries that i have read say the very opposite.

    I know that DMac's injury can become chronic and could very well worsen. OTA reports say that he looked 100%, but I am skeptical after reading up on his type of injury.

    Sorry, Yoda. I posted it here last season, but i had trouble finding it again.

    Here is the link: ACL surgery research shows decline in running back stats

    The article focuses on 8 different players and their performances after ACL Surgery.

    Here is a brief quote from the article:

    The numbers above make it clear -- the older a running back is at the time of an ACL tear, the worse his chances are to be productive the following season. We have also learned that suffering the ailment early in a season can be an advantage, as it allows more time to rehab and recover. That's the reason I'm not as worried about Charles. While a decrease in production should be expected compared to his 2010 totals, he'll have had far more time than Peterson and Mendenhall to come back. Charles is also just 25 years old, so he clearly has youth on this side.

    That was an interesting article....JC may have a chance. One things to note is running style. The two backs who were most productive after this devastating injury were Jamal Lewis and Ronnie Brown and yes they were both young. But their running styles are far different than JC. This two guys were bruisers, not so much cut and go and use speed to avoid the defender. Infact, the guys on that list who reached 1,000 yards after the ACL injury were those types of backs. JC depended on his speed and elusiveness. That is the one thing going against him, his running style after the ACL injury.

    As much as I hate the Chiefs, I hate to see a guy go down like this. This is his livelyhood and he worked his whole life to get here. KC signed Hillis for obvious reasons, JC will be productive in spots, but never again the same player.
