You bring a whole new meaning to the term 'Broncos insider'.

I'd say it's closer to 75% he's on the opening day roster. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'd be really surprised if he's unable to get to opening day. After all they are not going to overwork him in the pre-season. He'll get enough reps to get prepared for the season, but you're not going to see him much in pre-season games.

You should take a look at TDs career and what happened when he tore up his knee.

Peterson had nearly 1,500 yards after his first injury. TD had the same injury, but it resulted in microfractures in his knee. I don't believe JC has the same situation.

AP came back within a year. JC, not so much.

You know, I just looked at his stats. Why aren't they better than I remember? Seemed like he torched the Broncos every time we played KC, which is basically the only time I watched him play.

They're actually not all that impressive.

He is on the downside, it happens.

I hope we catch lighting in a bottle, but it seems foolish to hang your hat on it.

JC had his best year coming off of an ACL year.

Joe, don't forget to factor in his catching ability.

It was like, what, three days or something? Pretty impressive rehab.
