How ridiculous is the NFCS?

This post came out of a discussion on Reddit on RB duos, but it's something to think about. 

  • QBs: Brees, Ryan, Cam, and Jameis
  • RBs: Kamara/Ingram, CMC/Anderson, Freeman/Coleman, and Jones/whoever
  • WRs:  Jones/Sanu, Evans/Jackson, Thomas/Ginn (lol), and Funchess/whoever

That's three top-10 QBs (with two former MVPs and Breesus), and three top-5 running back duos in the same division.  Three of the teams have very solid WR corps as well.  And the Panthers and Falcons had top 10 defenses last year.

Is there any other division in football that's this crazy competitive?

Honestly, there isn't.

Last year, three of our teams went to the playoffs and the fourth wasn't that far behind. Divisions that competed head to head with us last season basically got stomped across the board. 

I'm not sure I've seen an entire division so competitive since maybe the 1980s NFC East. And maybe not even then as they had the lackluster St. Louis Cardinals among them.

I agree NFC south is the most competitive, but NFC North is not far behind. 

Im from chicago and watch a lot of Bears football and the only reason bears sucked was because our top 3 wrs were injured, and fox was defensive minded and ignored our offensive needs. 

They now have Allen robinson, taylor gabriel, anthony miller (prospect I was high on) to go along with trey burton, jordan howard, and tarik cohen. Not to mention they had a top 10 defense last year which they never got credit for. 

Aaron rodgers is back and despite losing nelson, they got jimmy graham and on defense, signed wilkerson. Also drafted 2 of the top 5 cbs in the draft.  

Vikings signed sheldon richardson and kirk cousins and get dalvin cook back. They also drafted a top cb mike hughes to go along with their already strong cb core. 

Lions are w.e. which is why NFC North will be second to the south

These teams build there teams to compete with each other.  Three are top tier teams so each team not only beat up on each other but they can beat any other division in football. 

I think if you take the records of the teams since the realignment you will see the NFCS is top 3 in record.

I did that a couple years ago and the NFCS was the top division.

Annoyingly so.

 

If some of the current "blue bloods" played in this division, we wouldn't think of them the same way.

Looking at you Patriots, Green Bay, Seattle, and Steelers.

 

Seattle is about to be fighting for third place in their division. Rams are loaded and the 49ers might be the breakout team of next season.

That's the difference between the NFCS and let's say the AFCE...if the Pats had this much competition year in and year out: #1 they wouldn't always get the #1 seed, they wouldn't always win their division and at least one of those SBs wouldn't have happened just from a competitive 17 game season when people get injured and the like.  We kill each other before the playoffs.

IIRC the Pats have only won the SB when they were the no. 1 seed, and the playoffs when through Fox.

That wouldn't happen nearly as much were they to play in a decent division, much less a tough one.

I have a love/hate relationship with the competitiveness of this division. Part of me hates you all and wants you to go 0-16 every year, but I also take pride in the NFCS being one of the best divisions in football.

Rest assured, the feeling is mutual :)

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
