In the 30 days leading up to the start of Denver Broncos Training Camp 2016, we’re examining 30 big questions for the season. We’ll make a case for each answer; you’ll vote and tell Broncos Country what’s going to happen this year.

Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson is entering his fourth season in the National Football League, and despite already having a Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl victory under his belt he has yet to achieve his first 1,000 yard season.

In three years with the Broncos, Anderson has accumulated 1,607 yards on the ground. While that might not seem like a ton, Anderson has earned every bit of that total.

Anderson made the team in 2013 as an undrafted free agent after spending two season at the University of California, Berkeley, and only had seven carries in his first year. He came on strong in the second half of the 2014 season, carrying the ball 179 times for 849 yards in 15 games for the Broncos. His 2014 performance was good enough to send him to the Pro Bowl.

Anderson’s regular season numbers slightly decreased in 2015, but that can be partly attributed to the Broncos offensive deficiencies as a whole. His 152 carries for 720 yards might not have been enough to earn another trip to the Pro Bowl, but it was his 54 carries for 234 yards in the playoffs that was good enough to help the Broncos win their third Super Bowl.

After signing a four-year, $18 million deal with the Broncos in March, Anderson will enter the 2016 season as the true starter for the first time in his career.

With head coach Gary Kubiak’s offense now in full swing, how many yards will C.J. Anderson rush for in 2016?

Scenario 1: 1,500 or more

2016 will finally be the year that Anderson has the breakout season we’ve all been waiting for. With a revamped offensive line and Kubiak’s commitment to the running game, Anderson will run wild over just about every team the Broncos face in 2016. He continues to be reliable with the football and as a result nearly tops his three year rushing total in one season by rushing for at least 1,500 yards.

Scenario 2: 1,000 to 1,499

While he may not run over everyone that gets in his way, Anderson still rushes for more yards in 2016 than he has in years past. The Broncos offensive line will be good, but learning to play together will take time. Anderson and the Broncos offense don’t get off to a great start, but the wear and tear of the season along with the chemistry that builds over the course of those few months will pay dividends as the season winds down. Anderson rushes for anywhere in between 1,000 and 1,499 yards, more than he’s ever rushed for in his career.

Scenario 3: 500-999

The 2016 Broncos’ run game winds up looking a lot like the run game of recent years. The offensive line is good enough to win games, but it’s not pretty and the transition to Kubiak’s offense with a new quarterback at the reins isn’t as smooth as everyone hoped it would be. Anderson’s 2016 season mirrors his 2014 and ‘15 seasons and he rushes for somewhere between 500 to 999 yards.

Scenario 4: 499 or less

2016 isn’t kind to the Broncos offense and as a result, Anderson’s numbers suffer. The offensive line remains a mess, the Broncos can’t find a suitable quarterback in Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch and Kubiak’s offense crashes and burns. With no supporting cast around him Anderson rushes for 499 yards or less, the lowest number of yards since his rookie year.

What does Broncos Country think? How many yards will C.J. Anderson rush for in 2016?
