This is why Indy Grabbed him up in the offseason. They knew he wasn't good at certain things, But you bet your bottom dollar they were going to exploit the shit out of what he does very well.

That's my big problem with PFF. If they want to say their grades are just a generic grade based on how the player did each snap he was in the game, based on his responsibilities, and leave it at that, fine. Stocker has a very limited role compared to Doyle or Ebron, and he did well executing his limited responsibilities.
The problem is that they take that too far, throw up a bunch of flashy ESPN graphics, and call him the #1 TE in the AFC South while ignoring that he played a lot less and had a much less important and difficult role than Doyle or Ebron. That is dishonest trash. But it makes them money so they will keep doing it.
