Taylor is.
I realize things don’t always work out, but the ideal situation for Anthony Richardson and the Colts would be to have a happy and healthy JT at running back on opening day.

Taylor is obviously a luxury that would benefit Richardson and the rest of the team. But that's the point of this whole disgruntled RB situation. Because it
is a luxury and rarely a necessity (even then, it's a fine line).
Richardson, especially if he lives up to potential, will create a mutually beneficial relationship with whatever RB is back there with him. A Zack Moss (and co.) might not break 70-yarders, but the D also can't let him gouge them for 8, 12, 16 yards all the way down the field because they want to focus on the QB.
Don't get me wrong, I want the house calls and everything else JT brings... But this franchise in particular knows first hand about that fine line from winning the SB the year they let Edgerrin James leave.
