I don't think that what happened with Luck and the Colts is proof that tanking doesn't work per se. But it is proof that having the "next guy" doesn't mean jack if you don't surround him with a good enough team.
I also think that finding the next QB capable of winning a Super Bowl for us will be easier (slightly) than those who tried in the last 20 years because that QB won't have to beat Tom Brady every year. Maybe someone like Mahomes takes over as the dream killer, but chances are we're going to see a regression to the mean once Brady retires, where winning one Super Bowl is awesome and winning two makes you the best in the modern game.
