1. C.J. Anderson
I’ve been beating this drum for awhile now, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
The Denver Broncos do have an opportunity to be a very good offense, but they’ll have to do so against conventional wisdom, sans quarterback.
For the last six months, all anybody has been asking is: How are the Broncos going to replacement Peyton Manning?
Fair question. The issue, though, is that we’ve all been looking in the wrong place for a solution.
Brock Osweiler, Colin Kaepernick, Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, none of those guys were going to replace the offensive production Manning blessed us with for four seasons (well … maybe three). If the Broncos were going to get back to moving the ball up and down opponent’s throats, they were going to have to shift courses, and that’s exactly what they’ve done.
Behind a fully implemented Gary Kubiak offense, the Denver Broncos are ready to run the football, and they’ve proven that over the first two weeks, ranking fifth in rushing yards per game (they were 17th last season). If C.J. Anderson can become the focal point of this offense, much like the running backs of yesteryear, there might be something to this Denver offense.
And if you can add an above-average offense to this defense, there’s no limit to what the Denver Broncos can accomplish.
