Why won't he thrive because the broncos run the WCO...? So do we now!

Well being he is a RB you should equate running the ball as production as that is his primary job function.

Why would that not be the case?

Furthermore, I'm looking at a bigger picture than just YPC as CP does alot more in the system we have been running the last 4 years. If you look at his overall production (not just YPC) the first two years here they where almost identical to his first two years in the league with Denver.

Of course there was a big drop off in 2006 due to injury. And he had a nice pickup in production last season coming off injuries from the year prior, even four years older than when we trade for him in 04.

Lets not forget what type of offense Denver runs.....the WCO. Which we will be running this season, CP is working harder than ever from what I have been seeing. I look for him to have a huge season with great overall production ( Could care less about his YPC ) but I look for CP to be back in 1500 yard form.
