The Colts were not decent without Dickerson.
Bentley was pretty good, but Dickerson was an all-time great in his prime.
Dickerson led the AFC in rushing in 1987, and he only played in 9 games after the trade. They got national exposure because they went from 3-13 to 9-6 and the AFC title, largely because of Dickerson. The 1987, 1988, and 1989 Colts probably would have gone somewhere between 5-11 and 6-10 without Dickerson.
