You don't win SB's with an elite running game in the NFL, you just don't. You also don't win by paying your super star RB a boat load of money. See Panthers and Cowboys and Titans.
I get your point, and I guess it would depend on what teams would offer, but if what you are saying is true why would teams be willing to give up so much for a player that won't get them to the promise land? I think a great back like JT makes it possible for just an above average QB to be enough to win a lot of games, provided you also have a top 10 defense.

I think the Colts would be better off going that route (top 10 D, JT, solid receivers, above average QB) than trying to get a franchise superstar QB. We had Peyton and Luck for 20+ seasons and only have 2 super bowl appearances and 1 championship to show for it!
