I remember when Emmitt Smith held out in 1993, and missed the first 2 games of that season ......
The Cowboys started that 1993 season at 0-2 without Smith ......
Smith eventually came back in Week 3, won the NFL MVP in spite of missing those first 2 games, and the and the Cowboys went on to win the Super Bowl.

I'm not necessarily predicting that the Colts will win the Super Bowl this year if they retain the services of Johnathan Taylor ...... I'm simply pointing out that there have been numerous times in the past in which teams have overcome what many thought to be impending doom during a contract dispute with a superstar running back.
