Roy: TE Luke Stocker is "week to week'' with a knee injury, according to Bucs coach Raheem Morris. He'll likely miss this week's game at SF.

BALLS! 

[Feel Real Good]

So who is the active #2 TE now? Pianalto?

Huge loss.   Stocker was the #1 tight end.   Winslow hasn't shown up this year.

Franklin will probably take over his role, he was active and played a bunch of snaps on Monday night. Kinda stinks for Stocker, but it's not a huge loss.

Thank Dom for player depth.

Stocker has missed time with a hip and now a knee, and dropped 3 passes and it's only week 4. Not looking like a good investment for two 4th round picks.

he's looked pretty good to me.

How cute. You quoted me out of context, I feel honored.

Price is ONLY a bust, if YOU say he's a good player. You know, the normal precursor to a bust is usually Java saying a player is good....


..There, I think I fixed that misunderstanding (by you) up. 

Regarding the matter at hand, Stocker has been pretty good for us this season. I think he'll be the man after K2 is gone. It sucks that he's out, but I think JF and co will be alright.

[BuccaneersMagic1282]

We'll miss his blocking, but Franklin may actually be a more athletic pass catcher. I agree that so far Stocker hasn't shown enough to be worth two 4th round picks, but he missed all of camp with an injury in a lockout ruined offseason, he deserves patience.

I don't know what it is about Stocker, but every time that guy did make a catch he would somehow get launched into the air and come down ackwardly. I hope he gets better, but I also hope he learns to better protect himself.

yeah, he has been pretty good. just a silly statement.

[JDouble]

How is it silly? looks like a sentence full of facts to me. I'm not saying he's a bust. Hopefully he ends up being great, but so far he hasn't been.

I have been liking what I saw of Stocker, besides the dropped TD that cost us the Lions game he has looked promising.

[BucBalla85]

Well I think the jury is still out. To call him a bust or a huge loss as somebody put it is just a tad bit premature. He still a rookie and is still learning.
