Fleener has flaws as an all-around TE.  People who criticize him might be looking for a Gronk or Jason Witten type of all-around TE.  That is just not Coby's game.  He is more in the mold of Jimmy Graham as a receiving threat with limited blocking ability.

Agree 100%.  My comments were limited to Fleener as a receiving TE.  No question overall as a TE he does not compare to Gronk.

As for Gronk being doubled, most times I saw him make a great play it was in single coverage.  Teams can afford to double Gronk with some frequency because the Patriots WRs are not that good.
