I know the rule is that RBs are a dime a dozen, but JT was shown to be a game breaker. He's a home run hitter. When you can get big splash plays from an RB, you should keep him.
I think this is especially true when you have a QB on a rookie deal, and also when you have a QB that needs to develop, which may mean needing to rely on a strong running game to keep defenses in check and slow down a pass rush.
So in different circumstances I might see letting him go, but not in current Colts circumstances, he's a definite keeper. The only concern is whether he comes back from injury and is still a home run threat.
