I had a feeling this was coming when the Colts lingered so long on the decision. Pagano's Ed Reed comparisons have simply not panned out so far. Nevertheless, the move saddens me a bit, but I think you're absolutely right that his injury history played a big role in this decision. We still have him for a year, so Hooker needs to go out and have a great season and prove the Colts wrong.
