1. With what money
Yeah, it doesn't matter what touches you get if you don't do much with em. I expect Freeman to do a lot with his, especially if they're giving him 2nd and 3rd string opposition in the preseason. Booker knows the offense and the league, and has a leg up on Freeman coming out of the gate. I expect Booker to be the "starting" RB for Game 1, but Freeman's touches and impact should increase as the year goes along.

Freeman seems what C.J. Anderson wanted to be. Freeman is bigger and faster and a very
punishing runner -- which is why he got away with so many carries: He dealt it out. I love
me some C.J. . . . it's just that the Broncos got themselves a fast road grader in Freeman . . .

They screwed up the CJ contract. First they let him become a restricted FA. Then they gave him a low round tender underestimating the market for him. Then Miami gave him a $4m a year deal. Then they said "whoa! If we don't match, we lose our starting RB." THen they matched. Then CJ ran for 1000 yards. Then they decided "he's earning too much money! We have to let him go!" Then they let him go back into FA and drafted his replacement.
It's just typical Elway mismanagement of personnel. He keeps making the same mistake over and over - letting guys hit FA and THEN having to negotiate at the top of the market. Then he decides that he's spending too much for their production, and lets productive players go in FA.
He did this with Malik Jackson, and Danny Trevathan, and now CJ Anderson.
With CJ they decided they needed to save money on the RB position, which they wouldn't be spending if they hadn't screwed this situation up in the first place.
Freeman will start imo. Only thing that could keep him off the field as a starter is not digesting the offense fast enough or lacking in pass pro.
IN PATON I TRUST.
Well......with a good oline, Freeman should do fine.
King's posts go poo-poo.
