lol - for the sake of fabricating an argument you responded as if I had said a strong TE wasn't required at all - I said it isn't the sole requirement but why should you be fair minded in your responses if doing so doesn't fit your narrative.If they are gonna play every passing snap then yes it is a requirement!!!!
By the way, lest you have had your head in the sand for decades, It has never been uncommon for teams to have a TE on the field almost every down, and the SB winning team has not always had an elite TE.
3 years ago the Pats won in a season Gronk only had 682 yards and 3 TDs - not much different than Schultz 615 yards and 4 TD's this year. And the Pats didn't have the quality of WRs outside of Edleman to throw to that the Cowboys have. Of course, for that matter, Gronk wasn't elite this season either. He had a big SB, but otherwise it was a very ordinary season, and he didn't do much in the playoffs to help them get to the SB. Gronk hasn't had an elite season since 2017.
A couple of years before that the Broncos won with their lead TE having 517 yards and 3 TDs. Seattle won with their lead TE having 387 yards and 5 TDs.
Again, there is no one way, and it's ludicrous for you to think you have it all figured out 80% of the NFL doesn't get it. Besides, the Kelce's and Gronk in his prime type players aren't just there to snatch up by any team that wants them anyway.
