What you’re saying here is dumb. Losing Hooker is in no way a good thing for the colts.

That is clearly something you don’t know. You think it is unfathomable that Blackmon or Odum can’t upgrade what hooker gave us? You have a much higher opinion of hooker than he deserves

You said the same thing about Hoyer when JB went down

Nah, I deal in reality. And the reality is the Colts lost an experienced player and are replacing him with a rookie. It may work out, it may not. But that’s the reality.

If the Colts thought Blackmon was already better, he would have been starting.

You’re letting your dislike of Hooker affect your reasoning.

Hooker was always going to start over Blackmon, just because Blackmon is recovering from his injury and was on a pitch count.

Nonsense. The Colts were never gonna start Blackmon as long as Hooker was healthy.

I get that you guys hate Hooker. But losing him hurts the team. It sure as hell isn't a positive.

If the Colts do that to every opposing QB the rest of the year, they will go 15-1 and win the Super Bowl. I doubt they will, but it shows how good the defensive performance was.
Yeah, as bad as they were last week. They were as good if not better. Turnovers, pressure, and Buckner being the player we paid him to be. Now if they could just be consistent, we will start putting wins together.

There were conversations 2 years ago about, "having a serious conversation about Mailk Hooker" He wont play another snap for us.

Yes, it sucks. Yes there are aspects of it that are not fair at all. Jim Irsay has paid Malik Hooker $14.6 million to see if he would work out. It just didn't.
