Or was it the statement that, I hope he starts 17 games and misses 40 tackles that was overly harsh? Do some embers of this forum want him to make all of his tackles? Do you want Speed an the Texicans to be successful?
Damn, it's not like I wished him out of the league or wished him injury or anything?

I think it is best for him to find pastures new, but i don't think it would have been terrible if he was resigned to compete for a Colts spot either on a reasonable contract, he has not been terrible, nor has he been good.
Good riddance, to me is overly harsh, as i don't think he was awful by any stretch of the imagination. Can we upgrade easily enough, yeah probably. But for me he is still a marginally below average starting linebacker.
You hoping he has a poor season for the Texans is not a problem to me, i don't want any of the opposition players to be superstars against the Colts. But i also have nothing against him if he became a pro bowler either. Speed had 5 good years with the Colts.
The same with Fries and Kelly i want them to succeed on their new teams, not so much if we play against them, but they have been good players for the Colts through the years, as has Speed.
